Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "The city should install solar panels on government buildings."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Solar energy is a reliable and sustainable power source for the city’s needs.
2️⃣ Government buildings have adequate rooftop space and structural suitability for panels.
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 the proposal’s two requirements
Installing solar panels is both a technical (energy source) and logistical (space/structure) action.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
If solar energy were unreliable for the city’s needs, recommending installation on public buildings wouldn’t make sense — so reliability/sustainability is implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
If roofs were unsuitable or too small, the plan could not be implemented as stated — so structural/space suitability is implicit.
Final Answer:
Both 1 and 2 are implicit. → Option C
Quick Check:
Technical proposals typically assume both the solution works and the place to put it exists ✅

Quick Trick: Technical recommendations assume both effectiveness and implementability.

Common Mistakes:

Focusing on only the technology and ignoring physical constraints.
