Question

3.
DIRECTIONS for the question: Refer the following and answer the question that follows:
If highways were restricted to cars and only those trucks with capacity of less than 8 tons, most of the truck traffic would be
forced to run outside highways. Such a reduction in the amount of truck traffic would reduce the risk of collisions on highways.
The conclusion drawn in the First sentence depends on which of the following assumptions?
O The roads outside the highway would be as convenient as the highway for most drivers of trucks.
O Most of the roads outside highways are not ready to handle truck traffic.
O Most trucks that are currently running on the highway have a capacity of more than 8 tons.
O Cars are at greater risk of being invalved in collisions than are trucks.​

Answer 1

The correct option is "The roads outside the highway would be as convenient as the highway for most drivers of trucks".

• If the decision has to be made of restricting trucks with more than 8 tons of capacity on the highway, then the most necessary thing is that the roads outside the highway are convenient for the truck drivers otherwise the number of accidents would remain the same.
• The other assumptions are not apt and therefore would be incorrect.
• If the roads outside the highway are not good enough then the given conclusion will make no sense.
