Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "The company should launch training programs to enhance employee productivity."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Current productivity levels are not satisfactory.
2️⃣ Training programs can help improve 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 the recommendation
The statement proposes training as a remedy, which presupposes both a problem and a remedy.
Step 2: Test assumptions
Assumption 1 (productivity is unsatisfactory) is implicit — otherwise there would be no need for training. Assumption 2 (training will help) is implicit — otherwise proposing training is pointless.
Final Answer:
Both 1 and 2 are implicit. → Option C
Quick Check:
If either the problem didn’t exist or training wouldn’t help, the recommendation would be meaningless ✅

Quick Trick: Improvement suggestions assume both deficiency and effectiveness.

Common Mistakes:

Assuming only the problem or only the solution without checking both.
