Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement :
    The gestation period for a business on the net is a tenth or a hundredth of that in the physical world.
    Assumptions :
    I. Business through net is preferable.
    II. Saving of time is very important in business.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: D

The speaker is comparing between the two types of business. So neither we can assume which one is preferable nor whether saving of time in business is important or not. It is certain that time can be saved, but whether it is important or not can't be assumed from the statement.
