76. (c) According to the advertisement given in statement is meantto influence the buyers and thus increasing sale of thetelevision. Hence, both assumption I and II are implicit.

77. (d) Only I and II are implicit. As incentive is an award for thepunctuality and sincerity and will work as a motivation force.This will definitely increase the productivity of the company.However, profitability can’t be predicted definitely as itdepends on other factors.

78. (a) According to statement and given assumptions, we can saynone of the given assumptions is implicit.

79. (a) State Government’s decision to increase octroi by 5% is basedon the assumption that the assumption that the StateGovernment is competent to implement the decision andalso get the consent the Central Government. The hike is inview of earning additional amount. Hence, all are implicit.

Sol. (81–85) :81. (b) All institutes are academic. All academics are schools = A + A

= A = All institute are schools. Hence I does not follow. Someinstitute are banks (I) ® conversion ® Some banks areinstitute (I) + All institutes are academics = I + A =\ I = Somebanks are academics. Hence the possibility of II exists.

82. (b) Some banks are academics = All academics are schools = I +A = I Some banks are schools. This does not lead us to I. IIfollows because All institutes are school.

83. (a) No force is torque + All torques are powers = E + A = O* =Some powers are not forces. Hence the possibility of II isruled out. All energies are forces + No force is torque = A + E= E = No energy is torque + All torques are powers = E + A= O* = Some powers are not energies. This does not rule outthe possibility of I.

84. (b) It follows from the solution to the above question. But I doesnot follow unless we know that All forces are energies.

moves downwards (along the vertical line) and one it reachesthe lowermost position, it moves to the topmost position inthe next step. In the LHS element, the square moves up anddown sequentially. It also turns to the other side of the verticalline in every second step. In the RHS element, the arrowheadmoves from right to left and once it reaches the leftmostposition, it moves to the rightmost position in the next step.The arrowhead also gets laterally inverted in every secondstep. In the lower element, the horizontal line segment remainsunchanged while the other line segment moves from right toleft and once it reaches the leftmost position, it moves to therightmost position in the next step. It also shifts to the otherside of the horizontal line in each step.

Also, this rowchanges its position (from upper to lower and vice-versa) ineach step.
