The driver immediately applied emergency brakes and the train stopped a few meters from the spot where the bridge collapsed. III. The collapse was accompanied by a big thud sound of the falling debris. Correct Answer All except I, II is implicit

The correct answer is option 2, i.e. All except I, II is implicit, i.e. only III is implicit.

An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.

Because of the fact that an assumption has to be assumed and must be based on the given statement, (I) is rejected as it provides a factual detail about the history of the overbridge. From the statement, it is evident that no such information regarding its history is mentioned thus, it can be rejected. (II) can be also eliminated as it is just a rephrase of the given set of statements and is not a very good assumption. (III) is a very obvious assumption as one can easily assume that a collapse will definitely be followed by big thud sound as such a massive overbridge has collapsed. As, both the assumptions, i.e. (I) and (II) are relevant they can be rejected.

Thus, based on a general assumption, we can conclude that the most appropriate answer choice is option 2.

Statement: Every time Sri Lanka’s president, Mahinda Rajapaksa, turned to his Chinese allies for loans and assistance with an ambitious port project, the answer was yes. Yes, though feasibility studies said the port wouldn’t work.

China had a stake in Sri Lanka’s main port as well, China Harbor was building a new terminal there, known at the time as Colombo Port City. Along with that deal came roughly 50 acres, solely held by the Chinese company, where Sri Lanka had no sovereignty.  II. Sri Lankan officials are quick to point out that the agreement explicitly rules out China’s military use of the site. But others also note that Sri Lanka’s government, still heavily indebted to China, could be pressured to allow it.  III. The rising debt and project costs, even as the port was struggling, handed Sri Lanka’s political opposition a powerful issue, and it campaigned heavily on suspicions about China. Rajapaksa may lose the election.

Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer. Infosys, the country’s second-largest software exporter reported slower sequential growth in revenue and profit than TCS for the June quarter (Q1). It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.
