In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer:

(a) If only assumption I is implicit

(b) If only assumption II is implicit

(c) If either I or II is implicit

(d) If neither I nor II is implicit

(e) If both I and II are implicit

Statement: “Instead of burning the leaves, bury them in compost pits, by which it gets converted to natural manure, making it beneficial for the soil.” - A notice issued in public interest by Department of Environment

Assumptions:

I. Whenever leaves are burnt in the open, the air gets laden with tiny particulate matter which raises air pollution to alarming levels, which cause severe respiratory disorders and eye infections to those exposed to it.

II. Benefits gained from ashes of leaves burnt are not as much as the benefits gained from the natural manure obtained from leaves by burying it.

II. Benefits gained from ashes of leaves burnt are not as much as the benefits gained from the natural manure obtained from leaves by burying it.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement advises not to burn leaves but to bury them in compost pits so that they convert into natural manure, which benefits the soil.

2. Assumption I talks about air pollution and health hazards caused by burning leaves. However, the statement does not explicitly or implicitly mention health issues or air pollution; it only suggests an alternative method.

3. Assumption II states that the benefits from ashes of burnt leaves are less than those from natural manure obtained by burying leaves. This assumption aligns with the statement's suggestion that composting is beneficial for the soil, implying it is better than burning.

4. Since the statement implies that composting leaves is better than burning them for soil benefit, assumption II is implicit.

5. Assumption I is not necessarily implied because the statement does not mention pollution or health effects directly.

**Answer:** (b) If only assumption II is implicit
