Instructions

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.

Question 62

Statement:
"In order to bring punctuality in our office, we must provide conveyance allowance to our employees." - In charge of a company tells Personnel Manager.
Assumptions:

I. Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality.
II. Discipline and reward should always go hand in hand.

Assumption I: Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality.
This contradicts the intention of the speaker. The speaker is clearly assuming that providing a conveyance allowance will help in bringing about punctuality. Therefore, Assumption I is not implicit (it's actually the opposite of what's being assumed).

Assumption II: Discipline and reward should always go hand in hand.
The speaker is suggesting that to improve punctuality (a discipline-related issue), a reward (conveyance allowance) should be provided. This suggests that the speaker believes in reinforcing discipline through rewards, which aligns with Assumption II. So, Assumption II is implicit.

The correct answer is therefore b) Only assumption II is implicit .
