  1. Statement
    Mohan requested his mother to arrange for food for about thirty persons as he invited all his friends to celebrate his birthday.
    Assumption
    I Most of Mohan's friends may come to his house on his birthday.
    II. There may not be more than thirty who may attend Mohan's birthday party.
    1. if only Assumption I is implicit
    2. if only Assumption II is implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. if both Assumption I and II are implicit
Correct Option: A

Assumption I is implicit because without this assumption Mohan would not have said to prepare food for almost all his friends. Assumption II is invalid as about 30 implies "nearly 30, may be a few less, may be a few more."
