Assumptions

II. All the big dons involved in the smuggling of drugs live in Jhuggi-Jhopari areas.
III. Most of the Jhuggi-Jhopari dwellers would do anything for money.
-
- Only I is implicit
- Only II is implicit
- Only III is implicit
- I and III are implicit
- None is implicit
Correct Option: D
The given statement tells of boom in drug business and cites examples from the capital city. This makes Assumption I a valid assumption. Again, it is given that most Jhoggi-Jhopari dwellers are seen to indulge in transactions of drug pouches. This implies that they given in to their lust for money quite easily and get involved in illegal activities for the same. Hence, Assumption III is very much valid. But Assumption II is not implicit as II has no connection with the given statement.
