Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Always wear a helmet while riding a bike."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Helmets protect riders from injury.
2️⃣ People value their safety and will wear helmets if advised.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 1

BOnly 2

CBoth 1 and 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify core claim
The rule is safety-directed — its basis is protective effect.
Step 2: Evaluate assumptions
Assumption 1 (helmets protect) is essential — without it, the rule loses purpose. Assumption 2 (people value safety enough to comply) is desirable but not strictly implicit — the rule may be given precisely because people do not always act on safety concerns.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If helmets offered no protection, advising to wear them is pointless ✅

Quick Trick: Safety instructions primarily assume the protective effect, not automatic compliance.

Common Mistakes:

Taking compliance or motive as always implied.
