Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II . An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.
-
Statement
It is surprising that India beat Australia even after follow on. It happens 2nd time in the history of test cricket.
Assumptions
I. Winning after follow on is possible.
II. India cannot repeat such victory again.
-
- If only Assumption I is implicit
- If only Assumption II is implicit
- If either Assumption I or II is implicit
- If neither Assumptions I and II are implicit
Correct Option: A
Assumption I is implicit as if it had not been possible India would not have won after follow on. Further, the word 'surprising' tells that winning after follow on is very difficult and this is the reason it happens only 2nd time. But if it is possible, we cannot say that India will not repeat such victory again. Hence, Assumption II is invalid.
