In each question given below, there is a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement: No budgetary provision for the purpose of appointing additional faculty would be made in the context of institute’s changed financial priorities.
Assumptions:
I. Appointment of faculty requires funds.
II. There are areas other than appointment of faculty which require more financial attention.
The statement talks about the changed financial priorities of the institute and not having provisions for recruiting additional faculty.
We shall try negating the assumption and see if it also invalidates the main statement, for it to be a valid conclusion.
1. If the appointment would not require funds, the same should not have been removed from the list of budgetary provisions. Hence, a valid assumption.
2. The statement clearly mentions about changed financial priorities of the institute, hence it is clear that there are other important areas to focus than faculty recruitment at the current point. Hence, a valid assumption.
