Question

Statement: "The best evidence of India's glorious past is the growing popularity of ayurvedic medicines in the world."
Assumption A: Ayurvedic medicines are popular in India.
Assumption B: Ayurvedic medicines are not popular in India.

• A. Only A is implicit
• B. Only B is implicit
• C. Neither A nor B is implicit
• D. Both A and B are implicit
• E. Either A or B is implicit, but not both

Hint:

In Statement-Assumption questions, an assumption is something taken for granted. If the statement discusses global popularity, we cannot assume local popularity (or lack thereof) without more data.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Analyse options.
- The statement discusses the popularity of Ayurvedic medicines "in the world" as evidence of a "glorious past." - Assumption A: The statement does not provide information about the current popularity of these medicines specifically within India; it focuses on global trends. - Assumption B: Similarly, there is no evidence to assume they are *not* popular in India.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Neither assumption can be logically mapped as a necessary underlying premise for the given statement. Final Answer: (c) Neither A nor B is implicit
