Question

The Civic administration has asked the residents of the dilapidated buildings to move out as these buildings will be demolished within the next thirty days.

Assumptions:

I. The Civic administration may be able to demolish these buildings as per schedule.

II. The residents of these buildings may vacate and stay elsewhere.

Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement says the Civic administration has asked residents to move out because the buildings will be demolished within thirty days.

2. For this statement to hold, it is necessary that the administration plans to demolish the buildings as scheduled. Hence, assumption I is implicit.

3. Also, if the residents do not vacate, demolition cannot proceed smoothly. Therefore, it is assumed that residents will vacate and stay elsewhere, making assumption II implicit as well.

4. Since both assumptions are necessary for the statement to be valid, both I and II are implicit.

**Answer:** (d) If both I and II are implicit
