In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true and decide which of the assumption logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Statements: A advises B, “Take a bus to travel to Goa from Mumbai via the shortest route." Assumptions: I. A has a habit of advising everybody. II. B wishes to go to Goa. Correct Answer Only assumption II is implicit As the statement does not mention the advices given by A to anyone else other than B, it is not possible to assume that A has a habit of advising people. Therefore, assumption I is not implicit. However, since A is offering an advice on how to travel from Mumbai to Goa via the shortest route, it can be assumed that B is thinking of travelling to Goa. A person with critical thinking does not give advice on travelling to a person who he/she knows isn't interested in it. Therefore, assumption II is implicit. Hence, only assumption II is implicit.
