Direction: Following a statement, conclusions I, II and III are given. Which one of the four alternatives is correct?

Statement: Ministers arrived at the public function in their cars.
Conclusions:
I. All ministers are rich
II. Ministers have cars.
III. Ministers came to the public function.

1. (1) Only II and III are implicit in the statement.
2. (2) Only I is implicit in the statement
3. (3) Only I and II are implicit in the statement
4. (4) Only III and I are implicit in the statement.
