Correct Answer Both III and II are 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, thus (I) is rejected as it is simply a rephrase of the given statement. From the statement, it is evident that the metro employees are planning to go on a strike demanding revision of salary structure and their rights. (II) and (III) can be assumed to be a perfect assumption as both of them assume the fact that the salaries have not been revised from a long time and the actions that will be done by the employees by ensuring that entry is closed for public or no maintenance of trains, a sign of their protest. Thus, the most appropriate answer choice is option 5.

Thus, both the assumptions, i.e. (II) and (III) are relevant and the correct answer choice is option 5.

The correct answer is option 5, i.e. Both III and II are implicit.

Statement: Summer is slowly fading away, but the sales of super premium and craft beers continue to sizzle. And now the FIFA World Cup football in Russia, as many football fans head out to the pubs every evening to watch matches, is adding some more fizz to the market. For young millennials, especially in Indian metros, it’s also time to seek out new craft and super-premium beers. According to a report by Euromonitor International last year, there is likely to be a further rise of craft beers in India this year. The report says that the huge success of B9 Beverages’ Bira 91 is expected to further encourage many global players to introduce their own craft beers.  Assumptions: I. Additionally, with this category being largely underdeveloped, many new players are also expected to emerge.  II. Likewise, a recent report by BMI Research of Business Monitor International, too, sees a strong growth for the beer market in India in 2018 on the back of changing cultural attitudes and a young, increasingly affluent population, demand for premium and craft beers is rapidly emerging. III. With growth in demand from Indian beer connoisseurs, who don’t mind paying a premium, it’s no surprise that importers and local brewers have launched over 20 new and fresh flavours this summer, including niche craft beers produced in small breweries.

Statement: About a year ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had told the world that the signature of a chartered accountant on financial statements was, perhaps, more powerful than even one of his own. ‘Just like doctors don’t want people to be ill to get more business, chartered accountants, too, need to safeguard the society’s economic health. Your signature is more powerful than the PM’s, and the government also believes the accounts signed by you’, Modi had said.  Assumptions: I. The CA community, however, may not have woken up to the value of the initials they put on financial statements. Last year has been more of a challenge for the community’s reputation, with banking frauds, asset quality divergences and mid-term auditor resignations dominating the headlines.  II. There cannot be a situation where there will be 100% agreement on everything. You may have rules but still judgmental factors in credit, asset recognition come in. The approach is that as soon as the asset is stretched, banks have to recognise the problem.  III.

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.

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.
