Q241
Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : These apples are too cheap to be good. Assumptions : I. When the apple crop is abundant, the prices go down. II. The lower the selling price, the inferior is the quality of the commodity. III. Very cheap apples are also good.
A.
None is implicit
B.
Only I and III are implicit
C.
Only II is implicit
AnswerD.
Only II and III are implicit
E.
All are implicit
Answer: Option C
Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
It is mentioned that the apples are so cheap that they cannot be good. This means that the prices of good apples are never too low and that very cheap apples are never good. So, neither I nor III is implicit. Assumption II clearly follows from the statement that apples are of inferior quality because they are cheap. So, it is implicit.
