Direction: Following is an array of questions to test your reasoning ability in different situations. Answer each of them according to the question asked in each of them respectively:

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?

[CLAT 2020]

The roads outside highway would be as convenient as highway for most drivers of trucks.

Most trucks that are currently running in highway have a capacity of more than 8 tons.

Cars are at greater risk of being involved in collisions than are trucks.
