CMAT 2024 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Statement and Assumptions

Consider the statement given below and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is/are implicit in the statement.

Statement : You know that your shirt is excellent when people ask about your tailor who tailored the shirt.

Assumptions : I. People do not ask about your tailor if your shirt is not good . II. People want to know the criteria of an excellent shirt.

  1. A.

    Only Assumption I is implicit

  2. B.

    Only Assumption II is implicit

  3. C.

    Neither Assumption I nor II is implicit

  4. D.

    Both Assumptions I and II are implicit

Answer

A

Explanation

Assumption I is implicit because asking about the tailor is taken as a sign/proof that the shirt is excellent, implying people wouldn't ask if it weren't good. Assumption II is not implicit as the statement mentions asking about the tailor, not asking about criteria for an excellent shirt.

Hence, Option A is correct.
