Understanding the Statement
The statement asserts that in a caste-based society, having caste-based organizations is acceptable for the welfare of those groups. This implies a recognition of the existing social structure and the need for specific organizations to address the needs of different castes.
Analyzing Assumptions
To comprehend the implicit nature of the assumptions, we need to evaluate them against the statement.
Assumption I: There is nothing wrong in having religious organisations to spread their ideals.
- This assumption talks about religious organizations and their role in society.
- However, the statement focuses specifically on caste-based organizations, not religious ones.
- Therefore, Assumption I is not directly relevant to the statement regarding caste welfare.
Assumption II: Political parties cannot look after the welfare of different castes like caste-based organisations can.
- This assumption posits that caste-based organizations are uniquely qualified to handle caste welfare, implying a limitation on political parties in this context.
- The statement implicitly acknowledges the need for specialized organizations, suggesting that caste-based organizations are better suited for this purpose compared to political parties.
- Thus, Assumption II aligns well with the statement and can be considered implicit.
Conclusion
Based on the evaluations:
- Only Assumption II is implicit in the statement as it relates directly to the effectiveness of caste-based organizations compared to political parties.
- Assumption I does not connect to the central theme of the statement regarding caste welfare.
Therefore, the correct answer is indeed option 'B': if only assumption II is implicit.

Understanding the Statement
The statement given is: "If it is easy to become an engineer, I don't want to be an engineer." This conveys a clear preference for challenging pursuits, indicating a disdain for ease in achieving professional status.
Analyzing Assumptions
- Assumption I: An individual aspires to be professional.
This assumption suggests that the individual has some desire or ambition to be a professional. However, the statement implies that the individual does not want to pursue engineering if it is easy. This does not necessarily indicate a broader aspiration for professionalism; rather, it focuses on a specific aversion to ease.
- Assumption II: One desires to achieve a thing which is hard earned.
This assumption directly aligns with the sentiment expressed in the statement. The individual prefers challenges and values hard-earned achievements. If becoming an engineer is perceived as easy, the individual dismisses the option, indicating that they desire something that requires effort and perseverance.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'B' because:
- Assumption I is not necessarily implicit; the individual may not aspire to be a professional in general, just not in an easy field.
- Assumption II is implicit, as the statement reflects a desire for achievement that is hard-earned.
Thus, the reasoning aligns with the notion that the desire for challenging endeavors is a fundamental aspect of the statement.
