Statement: In view of the statement on the ongoing strike of work by the employees, the government has agreed to work out an effective social security programme. Assumptions: i) The striking employees may not be satisfied with the announcement and continue the agitation. ii) The striking employees may withdraw their agitation with immediate effect and start working. Correct Answer If only assumption II is implicit.

The statement says that the government’s agreement to create an effective social security programme is taking into consideration the ongoing strike by the employees.

Thus, it can be implied that the government is assuming the possibility of the withdrawal of the strike by the employees due to the assurance of an effective security programme.

Therefore, assumption II is implicit.

Now, assumption I is a complete contradiction to assumption II.

Thus, assumptions I and II form a complementary pair.

Therefore, since assumption II is implicit, assumption I is not implicit.

Hence, only assumption II is implicit.
