Instructions

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.

Question 85

Statement: Shri Roy, retired IAS official has taken over as the new Director of the All India Nuclear Research Institute. It is now expected that the administration of the institute will improve.
Assumptions:

I. The Institute had no Director before Shri Roy.
II. Director is supposed to look after the administration of the Institute.

Solution

The statement talks about Shri Roy taking over as the new director and the hope of seeing improvements in the administration. 

We shall try negating the assumption and see if it also invalidates the main statement, for it to be a valid conclusion.

1. The statement clearly mentions 'new director', which makes this an invalid assumption. 

2. Had the director not been supposed to look after the administration, there should not be any expectation to see improvements in the same. Hence, it is a valid assumption.
