Read the following two passages and answer the items that follow the passages. Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.

passage -1

Conventional classrooms, by emphasizing fixed duration over learning effectiveness, resign themselves to variable outcomes. The tyranny of the classroom is that every learner is subjected to the same set of lectures in the same way for the same duration. In the end, a few learners shine, some survive, and the rest are left behind. After the fixed duration, the classroom model moves on, with not a thought spared for those left behind. This is how we end up with 10 percent employability in our graduates after a decade and half of formal education. Repeating the same ineffectual script in the realm of skill education will not produce different results.

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.

Explanation:

- Assumption 1: The passage criticizes the conventional classroom system and its ineffectiveness. It doesn't discuss the employment sectors or suggest the conventional system should remain unchanged because of unorganized sector employment. Hence, this assumption is invalid.

- Assumption 2: The passage argues that the current education system results in low employability. It does not claim that India produces enough skilled workers. Hence, this assumption is invalid.

- Option 1 (1 only): Incorrect, because assumption 1 is invalid.

- Option 2 (2 only): Incorrect, because assumption 2 is invalid.

- Option 3 (Both 1 and 2): Incorrect, because neither assumption is valid.

- Option 4 (Neither 1 nor 2): Correct, as both assumptions are invalid.
