Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "Ban loudspeakers after 10 PM to control noise pollution."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Noise pollution increases due to loudspeakers at night.
2️⃣ Restricting usage will bring down noise levels.
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 nuisance
The night-time restriction targets loudspeakers as a source of noise.
Step 2: Evaluate assumptions
Assumption 1 — loudspeakers cause night noise — implicit. Assumption 2 — restriction will reduce noise — not necessarily implied.
Final Answer:
Only 1 is implicit. → Option A
Quick Check:
If loudspeakers weren’t a source of noise, timing restrictions irrelevant ✅

Quick Trick: When an order targets a source, existence of that source’s problem is the key assumption.

Common Mistakes:

Assuming every restriction guarantees success.
