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: The office building needs repairing just as urgently as it needs internal as well as external painting.
Assumptions:
I. Efficiency of people working in the office cannot be improved unless office building is repaired.
II. Repairing and painting of office building require funds.
The statement talks about the urgent need to repair the office building along with painting.
We shall try negating the assumption and see if it also invalidates the main statement for it to be a valid conclusion.
1. The main statement does not mention the connection between the efficiency of the employees and the condition of the building. Hence, negating the contention of improved efficiency will not have any effect on the main premise. This makes it an invalid assumption.
2. The repairing will definitely require funds, but the same is not an assumption for the main statement, as it merely talks about the need to repair. Hence, an invalid assumption.
