In the question given below, there is a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II, and III. An assumption is something that is supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and assumptions and then decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement. You have to consider the statements to be true even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. Statement: Moisturisers are mostly used in winters, as they protect the skin from scaling. Assumptions: I. Skin scaling happens mostly in winters. II. Moisturisers are beneficial only in winters. III. Moisturisers are not used in summers. Correct Answer Only assumption I is true The words ‘mostly’ and ‘as’ give us the idea that moisturisers protect skin from scaling and that they are more prominently used in winters. So, we can assume that skin scaling happens mostly in winters. Hence, assumption 1 is true. The word ‘mostly’ again tells that the frequency of use is more in winters but it does not tell about other seasons. Therefore, we cannot assume that moisturisers are useful only in winters or that they aren’t used in summers. So, assumption 2 and 3 are incorrect. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
