Statement and Assumption

Statement and assumption questions test your ability to identify implicit ideas or hidden meanings behind a statement. These are commonly asked in SSC, banking, UPSC, CMAT, and placement exams.

Fundamental Principles

Statement

A sentence or assertion that provides information or expresses an idea.

Assumption

An unstated or implicit idea that is taken for granted in a statement.

Implicit Assumption

A hidden belief that must be true for the statement to hold valid.

Essential Formulation Tips

  • Focus on what is assumed, not what is stated directly.
  • Check if the assumption is necessary for the statement.
  • Avoid extreme or unrelated assumptions.
  • Use logical thinking instead of personal opinion.

Shortcut Execution Techniques

  • Use the negation test: if the assumption is false, the statement fails.
  • Avoid assumptions that are too obvious or already stated.
  • Check relevance between statement and assumption.
  • Eliminate options that go beyond the statement.
