Instructions

In each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Then decide which of the answers is correct.

Question 120

Statement:
Most of the private schools interview parents before allowing admission to a child in their school.
Assumptions:

I. The school authorities want to know whether the parents are financially sound.
II. Schools run some courses for parents as well.
III. Only smart parents have smart children

Solution

The main statement talks about schools interviewing parents for the admission of children. 

Assumption 1: Other factors can also be tested in the interview apart from being financially sound. Hence, this is an invalid assumption. 

Assumption 2: Just because there is an interview for parents, that doesn't imply that there are also courses for them. Hence, an invalid assumption.

Assumption 3: The main statement does not talk about 'smartness', and hence, an invalid assumption.
