Based on the above passage, the following assumptions have been made:
1. As a large number of workers in our country are employed in unorganized sector, India does not need to change its present conventional classroom system of education.
2. Even with its present conventional classroom system of education, India produces sufficient number of skilled workers to fully realize the benefits of demographic dividend.
Which of the assumptions given above is/are valid?
(a) 1 only · (b) 2 only · (c) Both 1 and 2 · (d) Neither 1 nor 2
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (d) न तो 1 और न ही 2
The passage blames the conventional classroom for ‘10 percent employability’ among graduates and warns against repeating it in skill education. Both statements defend the present system, so neither can be an assumption of this passage.
- ✗ 1. The unorganized sector is not mentioned, and the author clearly wants the classroom model changed: ‘Repeating the same ineffectual script … will not produce different results.’
- ✗ 2. The passage cites ‘10 percent employability in our graduates’, which contradicts the claim that the present system yields enough skilled workers. The demographic dividend is not mentioned.
Remember · An assumption must support the author’s argument; statements that contradict the author’s stand are invalid.
