Statement: The Government has decided to levy 2 percent on the tax amount payable for funding drought relief programmes.

Assumptions:

  1. The Government does not have sufficient money to fund drought relief programmes.
  2. The amount collected by way of surcharge may be adequate to fund these drought relief programmes.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since a surcharge has been levied to fund drought relief programmes, it follows that the Government does not have sufficient money for the same. So, I is implicit. Besides, the percentage of surcharge must have been decided after studying the expected inflow in relation to amount of funds required. So, II is also implicit.

Willingness to fund and ability to fund are two different things and the person who wrote 1 is implicit is conflating the two, please correct the answer.

1 is not implicit, the statement does not state anything about the government not having funds.

According to me, both do not follow.

First one says about the government not having funds, but as it is not told it does not follow. Second one also doesn't follow because they haven't told anything about full or half. So both should not follow.

1is not implicit because there may be some other reason than insufficiency of the fund.

Like there may be some technical glitches for making the fund available.
Jee said:   9 years ago
II also not implicit because it does not mention anything about the surcharge.

1 is not implicit as the statement does not mention about whether government have funds or not.
