Direction(7-9): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. Certain words/phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them.

Last month, the Madhya Pradesh High Court had remarked that the DMAT scam appeared worse than Vyapam, a view that the Supreme Court has concurred with, while asking the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over investigations. While Vyapam (the Hindi acronym for Vyavsayik Pariksha Mandal, the Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board or MPPEB) and DMAT dovetail with each other and are acknowledged to be two sides of the same corrupt coin, the two scams actually have a far deeper causal connection.
The DMAT exam is conducted by the Association of Private Dental and Medical Colleges of Madhya Pradesh for the management quota, which accounts for 50 per cent of seats in private colleges with the other 50 per cent filled up through examinations conducted by the State through the board that is colloquially referred to as Vyapam.

Only assumption I is implicit in the statement. The instruction was given on the assumption that people tend to be little 

shy and less objective while writing their self appraisal report.


11. 5

Both assumption I and II are implicit in the statement. Assumption I is clearly implicit in the statement since it is 

stated that bosses should not be considered as merely sources of reward and punishments. It implies that the bosses are 


generally considered so. Hence assumption II is also implicit in the statement.


12. 5

Both the assumption I and II are implicit in the statement. Assumption II is clearly implicit in the statement. Assumption 

I is also implicit because the shopkeeper gives his suggestions on the assumption that the customer will consider it.
