Question

Statement: The employer has a right to reject the application of any candidate without assigning any reason while shortlisting for interview.
Assumption I: The employer is impartial and believes in transparency
Assumption II: The employer wants to call only those candidates for interview, who in his opinion are eligible

• A. Only assumption I is implicit
• B. Only assumption II is implicit
• C. Both assumption I and II are implicit
• D. Neither of the assumptions I and II is implicit

Hint:

When discretion is explicitly allowed, the assumption is about selection preference, not necessarily fairness or transparency.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the statement — It asserts the employer’s right to reject without explanation.
Step 2: Assumption I check — If anything, not giving reasons suggests less transparency, so impartiality and transparency are not assumed here.
Step 3: Assumption II check — Yes, because the act of shortlisting assumes the employer wants to call only those they personally consider eligible.
Step 4: Conclusion — Only assumption II is implicit.
