IBPS PO General Awareness: Assumption and Inference questions with solutions

Q1. Statement: "I would like to study the impact of pay revision on job satisfaction of employees," A tells B. Assumptions: I. Job satisfaction can be measured. II. A has the necessary competence to undertake such a study.

1. If both I and II are implicit
2. If only assumption II is implicit
3. If either I or II is implicit
4. If neither I nor II is implicit

Answer: If both I and II are implicit

To study the impact of pay revision on job satisfaction, job satisfaction must be measurable; otherwise, the study cannot be framed. Also, proposing such a study implies that A assumes the ability or competence to carry it out, so both assumptions are implicit.
