In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Give answer

  • (A) If only assumption I is implicit

Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.

Assumptions:

  1. Every problem is caused by something.
  2. There are always some problems in a family.

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:
The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.

I is definitely implicit. Remove that assumption and you will find that the statement doesn't hold true anymore because it says all problems in a family are caused by money.

I also don't understand why A is incorrect. It's still there, like it's still true though, right? Doesn't every problem originate somewhere? Please clarify again, thanks!

If every problem has a root cause of money that means every problem has something as a root cause how can it be neither?

Anyone, explain it to me.

I think II is also implicit.

Families have money. Money is the root cause of all problems. Some families with money must have problems.

If money is root cause of all problems in a family, every family has money so every family has problems.

According to me, either option E, or C would be the answer as they both follow logical statements.

Option A and B are wrong because both have extreme terminologies-EVERY & ALWAYS.

Neeraj said:   1 decade ago
Both I and II are not correct because both are directly not related with question.

Yes, why A is incorrect ?

Every problem is caused by something.

From my point of view, I choose E as the correct answer.
