Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "The government will provide free Wi-Fi in universities."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Students need internet access for academic purposes.
2️⃣ Free Wi-Fi will automatically improve learning and research productivity.
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 functional purpose
The scheme is clearly an enabling measure to give students access to online resources.
Step 2: Test assumptions
Assumption 1 — internet access is needed for study — implicit. Assumption 2 — that access will automatically translate into measurable productivity gains — is not strictly implied; the policy provides access, not a guaranteed productivity outcome.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
Provision of access is assumed necessary; improvement in metrics is desirable but not strictly assumed ✅

Quick Trick: Distinguish between providing access (implicit) and guaranteed outcomes (not always implicit).

Common Mistakes:

Assuming enabling steps guarantee performance improvements.
