Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.

Statement: Government Schemes have proven to help reduce female feticide and infanticide rates, by proving that a girl child is not a burden on her parents. Moreover, these schemes also ensure that girl children are more independent once they reach adulthood.

Assumptions:

I. Indian government increased criminal penalties for female infanticide; the availability of sex-determining technologies such as ultrasound scanning has led to a rise in sex-selective abortion.

II. Most government schemes exempt Income Tax from the associated accounts of girls’ parents. This ensures tax efficient savings that prove to be beneficial to the girl child, in the future either for marriage or higher education.
