Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "The school should provide extra coaching for weak students."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Some students are weak in studies.
2️⃣ Extra coaching will guarantee top grades for all weak students.
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 suggestion
The statement proposes extra coaching, which presupposes the existence of weak students who need help.
Step 2: Analyse each assumption
Assumption 1 (some students are weak) is implicit — otherwise offering extra coaching makes no sense. Assumption 2 (coaching will guarantee top grades for all) is an extreme claim and not implied by the suggestion; the statement assumes improvement is possible, not guaranteed perfection.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If no weak students existed, proposing coaching would be pointless ✅

Quick Trick: Solution suggestions assume a problem exists; avoid accepting absolute guarantees as implicit.

Common Mistakes:

Treating 'improvement possible' as 'guaranteed success'.
