Given:

Statement: In spite of the principal's repeated warnings, a child was caught with a hidden mobile phone in the school.

Course of Action:

I. The mobile phone should be taken away from the child and the parents should be called to the school - True (Because, this will ensure that the parents are aware of the child’s misconduct and can take steps to prevent it in the future).

II. The child should be punished for committing this mistake - True (Because, punishment can act as a deterrent for the child and other students from repeating such actions).

So, Both I and II follow.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given Statement: I can take you from Kanpur to Lucknow early from my car, but you have to pay double the fee from normal fee.

Assumptions:

I. It usually takes longer to reach Lucknow from Kanpur. → Embedded

Since the speaker is offering to take someone early, thus it implies that normally it takes longer than what the speaker is promising.

II. People want to reach early, but they will not give additional funds for this. → Not embedded

The statement demands double fee for early arrival, but nowhere does it assume people won't pay. In fact, the speaker expects that some people may pay.

Thus, only assumption I is embedded.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Statement:
Reclaimed land should be avoided as it only has disadvantages.

Arguments:

I. Many countries have no option but to reclaim land to provide for the increasing population → In this argument, there is an advantage shared about the reclaimed land but the statement suggests that it has only disadvantages since both of them points are against each other, the argument weakens the statement.

II. Land that is reclaimed has a long-lasting effect on nature as it deteriorates ecosystems and biodiversity → Here the bad effects of reclaimed land are discussed which in turn favours the point indicated in the statement so both of them lead towards the same direction i.e., negative effects of reclaimed lands, therefore, the argument strengthens the statement.

So the argument I weaken the statement, while argument II strengthens the statement.

Hence the correct answer is "I weakens, while II strengthens the statement".

We take a look at the given statements as follows:

A) Organisation is focusing on tribal flora and fauna of the region. → Turtle conservation isn't essentially a part of tribal flora and fauna conservation. The organisation might have shifted its focus to a different objective all together. Hence, this statement doesn't weaken the decision. 

B) Mega Resort wants the best economic outcomes. → It might be the case that partnering with Company X leads to a more overall net profit for the resort. Hence, this statement doesn't weaken the decision. 

C) Organisation Y is a much more established and stable organisation as compared to Organisation X. → This might hamper or impact the decision due to the effective supremacy of Company Y over Company X. Hence, this statement does weaken the decision. 

Therefore, only statement C weakens the decision taken by the resort. 

Hence, only statement C weakens the decision.

We take a look at the given statements as follows:

A) Maximum number of people are old people who do not know how to use technology. They do not want to take discount and want to book slot on the same day. → Majority of the old age people and technologically challenged. So, online slot booking might be a hindrance for them. Hence, this might be a reason as to why people might not avail the offer. 

B) Company did not pay much attention towards advertisement by thinking that it will automatically reach out to consumers. → Poor advertisement may lead to less awareness about the offer among their customers. Hence, this might be a reason as to why people might not avail the offer. 

C) People are rich and they want to pay more. → We cannot for certainly say that rich people would like to pay more and not avail the offer. Hence, this might not be a reason as to why people might not avail the offer. 

Therefore, only C might not have been a reason why people not use and avail discount given by the hospital.

Hence, only C might not have been a reason. 

It can be assumed that IIM does provide good management studies that is why Y advised X. Hence assumption 1 supports the argument.

If Y is advising X therefore, it can be assumed that X listens to Y. So, assumption 2 supports the argument.

Note:

When you are advising someone, you can assume that the person is willing to listen to your advise. That is, the possibility of such an assumption does exist.

Thus, in this question, the second assumption is implicit. When Y is advising X, he might be assuming that X will listen to his advice. 

From the statement above, we get information about the most debatable topic in Indian media which is Politics.

But the information provided is not sufficient enough for us to conclude the likes and dislikes of every Indian. 
Therefore, the conclusion I do not follow.

On the other hand, we can easily conclude that a large part of the Indian audience has a liking for discussions on political issues which makes the media use it as a topic for debates more frequently.
Therefore, conclusion II follows.

Hence, Only conclusion II follows.

• In the statement student 1 is asking for notes prepared by student 2 for studying, thus we can assume that student 2 “has prepared the notes”.
• The statement clearly mentions that student 1 wants the notes “to study”, hence we cannot assume that he “wants to verify his understanding”.
• Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.

Conclusions:

I. The rules followed in the school are not proper→ False (some students do not behave properly even if there are strict rules)

II. Such a student should be expelled from school → False (as there are many students who behave improperly and the removal of a student from school doesn’t correct their behavior)

Hence, none of the given conclusion follows.

In the statement, we can see that total runs made by the losing team A is 70 before losing all the wickets. So, either batting of Team A was poor or the bowling of Team B was very good. So, either I or II follows.

In this case, Assumption I is not implicit in the statement, as there is no direct connection made between the physical state of the building and the quality of education provided within it.

Assumption II refers to an office building rather than a school building. Therefore, it cannot be inferred that the statement is implicitly making assumptions about an office building.

Therefore, neither assumption I nor II is implicit in the given statement.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

The statement says that human body can produce Vitamin D on its own with the help of sun exposure.

Therefore, it can be safely assumed that human body does not have to depend on food for its required intake of Vitamin D.

Thus, assumption I is implicit.

However, the statement does not discuss the deficiency of Vitamin D of anyone.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.

Smoking is injurious to health irrespective of the fact still people smokes. But argument is talking about the smoking in public. So, assumption 1 is not implicit. if one person smokes in public then his smoking effects other people health too. So, Assumption 2 is implicit.

Concept: We have to examine the given statement and then analyse the conclusions to judge if the given conclusions are following the statements or not.

Statement: 

For admission to MA (Social Work) course, the condition of prior experience in social work may be relaxed by the Admission Committee to the best candidates.

Explanation: 

The statement says that if the candidate is best then required or prior experience can be reduced for his admission in MA(social Work).

Conclusion:

I. Some students of MA (Social Work) will have prior experience of social work.

Those students who are not best will have to take prior experience.

So, Conclusion I is follows.

II. Some MA (Social Work) students will not have prior experience in social work.

The top students will not be having prior experience.

So, Conclusion I is follows.

As it can be seen both statements are true.

Therefore, the correct answer should be "Conclusion I and Conclusion II both follow."

Here, the objective is to make homes energy efficient for sustainable development.

• Replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) is suggested considering the statement says that making homes energy-efficient is important for sustainable development.

Therefore, assumption I is implicit in the statement.

• One cannot relate the auspiciousness of good landscaping around one's house on the west side with efficient energy consumption at home using the information from the statement.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.
