CMAT 2024 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Verbal Reasoning
Consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement: The entire north India, including Delhi remained 'power less' the whole day of December as the northern grid supplying electricity to seven states collapsed yet again.
Assumptions : I. The northern grid had collapsed earlier. II. The grid system of providing electricity to a group of states is an ineffective type of power supply system.
- A.
Only assumption I is implicit
- B.
Only assumption II is implicit
- C.
Neither assumption I nor II is implicit
- D.
Both assumptions I and II are implicit
A
Explanation
The phrase "yet again" implies that the grid has collapsed before, so Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is an overgeneralization and not implicit in the statement.
