The statement "IPL is popular among the Indian youths" implies that a significant number of Indian youths like or watch IPL matches.

Let's evaluate the assumptions:

I. Indian senior citizens do not like IPL.

This assumption is not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement talks about the popularity of IPL among Indian youths but doesn't give any information about the preferences of Indian senior citizens towards IPL. So, assumption I is not implicit.

II. All Indian youth like to watch IPL matches.

This assumption is also not implicit in the statement. The statement mentions that IPL is popular among Indian youths, but it doesn't state that every single Indian youth likes or watches IPL matches. Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

So, neither assumption I nor II is implicit in the statement.

Hence, The correct answer is "Option (2)".

Statement:

They will leave in an hour, but now I have to learn my lessons, so I won't be able to say goodbye to them.

Assumptions:

1. Lessons will take over an hour to complete.

2. The departing people are not expecting me to say goodbye to them before departure.

Explanation: 

Nothing is mentioned about the expectations of the people who are departing. Thus, 2 assumption is not implicit.

So, only assumption 1 is valid because lessons will surely take over an hour to complete so he won't be able to say goodbye to them.

Hence, "Only assumption 1 is valid" is the correct answer.

Statement: One must wake up early in the morning and exercise.

Assumption I: Exercising is not possible at any other time of the day.

This assumption extends beyond what the statement says. The statement merely emphasizes the importance of waking up early to exercise, but it doesn't rule out the possibility of exercising at other times of the day.

Assumption II: Everyone who exercises early in the morning is fitter than those who do not.

This assumption introduces an unwarranted comparison of fitness levels based on the timing of exercise, which is not mentioned or implied in the statement. The statement does not comment on the fitness outcomes relative to the timing of exercise.

Given that neither of these assumptions is directly supported or implied by the statement, the correct answer is:

Neither assumption I nor assumption II is implicit.

Alternate Method

 The statement tells us that it is a must to wake up early and exercise in the morning.

However, this statement does not imply that it is not possible to exercise at other times. Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

The statement does not give any information at all about the effect of early morning exercises. Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Hence, neither assumption I nor assumption II is implicit.

Given Statement: I can take you from Kanpur to Lucknow early from my car, but you have to pay double the fee from normal fee.

Assumptions:

I. It usually takes longer to reach Lucknow from Kanpur. → Embedded

Since the speaker is offering to take someone early, thus it implies that normally it takes longer than what the speaker is promising.

II. People want to reach early, but they will not give additional funds for this. → Not embedded

The statement demands double fee for early arrival, but nowhere does it assume people won't pay. In fact, the speaker expects that some people may pay.

Thus, only assumption I is embedded.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given statement: The national education policy brings major changes in the education system.

Assumptions: 

I. Present education system is not supporting the needs of the nation. → Not Implicit

The statement only says the policy brings "major changes", but it doesn't necessarily mean the present system doesn't support the needs of the nation. Major changes can also be for improvement, not due to inadequacy.

II. Present education system is teacher centric. → Not Implicit

The statement does not mention anything about bring teacher centric. 'Major changes' could relate to many aspects not only teacher centric.

Thus, Neither I nor II is implicit.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

It can be assumed that IIM does provide good management studies that is why Y advised X. Hence assumption 1 supports the argument.

If Y is advising X therefore, it can be assumed that X listens to Y. So, assumption 2 supports the argument.

Note:

When you are advising someone, you can assume that the person is willing to listen to your advise. That is, the possibility of such an assumption does exist.

Thus, in this question, the second assumption is implicit. When Y is advising X, he might be assuming that X will listen to his advice. 

• In the statement student 1 is asking for notes prepared by student 2 for studying, thus we can assume that student 2 “has prepared the notes”.
• The statement clearly mentions that student 1 wants the notes “to study”, hence we cannot assume that he “wants to verify his understanding”.
• Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.

In this case, Assumption I is not implicit in the statement, as there is no direct connection made between the physical state of the building and the quality of education provided within it.

Assumption II refers to an office building rather than a school building. Therefore, it cannot be inferred that the statement is implicitly making assumptions about an office building.

Therefore, neither assumption I nor II is implicit in the given statement.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The statement says that human body can produce Vitamin D on its own with the help of sun exposure.

Therefore, it can be safely assumed that human body does not have to depend on food for its required intake of Vitamin D.

Thus, assumption I is implicit.

However, the statement does not discuss the deficiency of Vitamin D of anyone.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Smoking is injurious to health irrespective of the fact still people smokes. But argument is talking about the smoking in public. So, assumption 1 is not implicit. if one person smokes in public then his smoking effects other people health too. So, Assumption 2 is implicit.

Here, the objective is to make homes energy efficient for sustainable development.

• Replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is suggested considering the statement says that making homes energy-efficient is important for sustainable development.

Therefore, assumption I is implicit in the statement.

• One cannot relate the auspiciousness of good landscaping around one's house on the west side with efficient energy consumption at home using the information from the statement.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.

The statement given us no information to support the fact that younger children learn swimming faster. Hence assumption I is not implicit.

It is given in the statement school has made it compulsory for the children to learn swimming, this implies that the school is serious about the overall development of children. Hence, assumption II is also implicit.

According to the given statement,

Assumption I: This is not implicit, because nothing is discussed about the relationship between internet and harassment of women.

Assumption II: This is implicit, because harassment of women is clearly a result of lack of moral values. Therefore, it can be assumed that moral education is not being imparted properly at many level.

Mistake Points

Note: Moral education is not properly imparted in the school and college levels. It addresses the broader issue of education and its potential impact on societal behavior.

Hence, “only assumption II” is implicit.

Important Points An Assumption is the missing link of the logical structure of an argument. It is left unsaid and therefore, assumed.

Travel insurance requires fund as it involves inflow of money to provide travel insurance.

In the statement, a word “this” is used that means there was allotment for travel insurance in the previous year, but this year some other areas need more financial attention than travel insurance. So, there is no fund for travel insurance.

Hence, both assumptions support the statement.

The pattern followed here is:

Argument:

A government servant sitting idle tells a visitor to come after 2 weeks to get this certificate attested, as he is very busy and have a lot of work.

Assumptions:

1. The government servant wants to help the visitor → Not implicit → No, the government servant doesn't want to help the visitor if he wanted to help him he would never have delayed his work and gets it done at the same time.

2. The government servant is expecting a favor from the visitor → Implicit → It may happen that the government servant is expecting some kind of favor and benefit from whom, that's why they delayed his work.

So, Only assumption 2 is implicit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
