Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Electric cars are better than petrol cars for city driving."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Both types of cars can be compared for city driving conditions.
2️⃣ Electric cars are more efficient and eco-friendly in cities.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 2

BBoth 1 and 2

COnly 1

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Identify comparison
The statement directly compares two vehicle types specifically for city driving.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
Saying one is 'better' for city driving presupposes both can be judged on the same criteria → comparability is implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
The claim of 'better' implies reasons (efficiency / eco-benefit) that favour electric cars in the city → this is implicit.
Final Answer:
Both 1 and 2 are implicit. → Option B
Quick Check:
If electric cars weren’t comparatively more efficient/eco-friendly, the statement would not hold ✅

Quick Trick: For comparison claims, check (a) comparability and (b) the claimed advantage.

Common Mistakes:
