Direction: In each of the questions 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 assumptions and decide which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement
    'A' computer, the largest selling name with the largest range, an advertisement.
    Assumptions
    I. 'A' computer is the only one with the wide variations.
    II. There is a demand of computers in the market.
    1. if only Assumption I is implicit
    2. if only Assumption II is implicit
    3. it either I or II is implicit
    4. it neither I not II is implicit
Correct Option: B

Assumption I is not implicit because of the word 'only'. 'A' computer has the largest range. But this does not mean that it is the only brand to have a wide range. In case of Assumption II, it is a truth that if computers are being advertised, a demand for them must be existing. Hence, Assumption II is implicit.
