Statement: Unemployment allowance should be given to all unemployed Indian youth above 18 years of age.

Assumptions:

  1. There are unemployed youth in India who needs monetary support.
  2. The government has sufficient funds to provide allowance to all unemployed youth.

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:
I directly follows from the statement and so is implicit. Also, the statement is a suggestion and does not tell about a government policy or its position of funds. So, II is not implicit.

As child labour is illegal so who will be employed?

Youth only and most of the working youth facing unemployment according to their qualification is 18+ only. So the answer will be A. And the ability of govt to pay is not given in statement so can't be assumed in conclusion.

Hi all, I didn't find any logic to say A is implicit. Can anyone explain.

But if government doesn't have fund then they won't propose the idea of giving the fund to youth so according to me it should be B.

Avatansh said:   10 years ago
@All correct answer A.

Implicit statement is that one which shows righteousness of statement, for say in this example someone is suggesting the unemployment allowance.

So he must have the rough idea of unemployed youth in this country that's why he is suggesting, but about government fund he didn't know any thing so 2nd one is not true.

But implicit I covers all unemployed not above 18 confusion.

Dear Sir,

Actually the answer is D instead of A, because statement said youth above 18 years of age, but in A is mentioned for all the youth (not in criteria).

Hence Answer is D.

How it will be implicit because in statement no information about money. So how it will be?

Provide unemployment allowance only to those whose survival for life is difficult and on the basis of such other criteria gov can decide who is eligible and who is not?

If the govt thinks it should provide unemployment allowance it means it has sufficient funds, right?

Maithri said:   1 decade ago
Assumption 2 can be implicit because Government can provide unemployment allowance only when it has sufficient funds.
