Statement: The government has decided to reduce its subsidy on LPG; however the subsidy on kerosene remains unchanged.

Assumptions:

1. Those people who buy LPG can afford to purchase LPG for a higher price.

2. Many people may stop buying LPG and instead use kerosene.

  • A.Only assumption I is implicit
  • B.Only assumption II is implicit
  • C.Either I or II is implicit
  • D.Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E.Both I and II are implicit

Answer: A

Clearly, the decision has been taken keeping in mind that the section of people using LPG can afford to pay a slightly higher price. The government does not want to affect the weakest sections who still use kerosene. So, only I is implicit, while II is not.
