SSC CGL (Prelims) General: Statement and Assumption questions with solutions

Q1. Statement: Digital payments reduce dependency on cash transactions. Assumptions: I. People have access to digital devices. II. Internet connectivity is reliable.

1. Only I is implicit
2. Only II is implicit
3. Both I and II are implicit
4. Neither I nor II is implicit

Answer: Only I is implicit

For digital payments to reduce cash use, people must have access to digital devices, so assumption I is implicit. However, reliable internet connectivity is helpful but not necessarily assumed in the statement itself, so II is not implicit.
