Discussion Forum : Statement and Assumption - Section 6 (Q.No. 16)
Directions to Solve
In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
16.
Statement: "As our business is expanding, we need to appoint more staff." Owner of a company informs his staff.
Assumptions:
- The present staff is not competent.
- More staff will further expand the business.
- Suitable persons to be taken as staff will be available.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement mentions that the present staff is insufficient, not incompetent. So, I is not implicit. Also, the purpose for appointing more staff is to control the expanding business, not to expand it further. So, II is not implicit. Since the company owner talks of appointing more staff, so III is implicit.

Assumption III is not implicit because the statement does not tell about the availability of suitable staff and further process.
I think option C is correct since the business is expanding more staff definitely helps in expanding the business.

Assumption III is not implicit because it talks about the availability of suitable persons.
We can not logically deduce that suitable persons will be available just because the company will need to appoint more staff.
So the correct answer is A. None is implicit.
