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 :
    Paging industries have been going through tough times partly because of the fact that the industry went through a period of unsustainable growth where subscribers were attracted more by the gifts accompanying a pager than by the service which it offered.
    Assumptions :
    I. Gifts accompanying a product always attract large number of customers.
    II. Unsustainable growth is found harmful in the long run.
    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: B

Gift scheme gave a spurt to paging industry but we cannot generalise it. So assumption I is not implicit because of the word always. II is implicit. That is why paging industries are now going through tough times.
