Direction: In each question 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 following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement:
    "No war, yet 1874 Indian Armymen killed or hurt during the 10-month forward deployment along the Indo-Pak border last year." - Opposition leader
    Assumptions:
    I. Our Armymen have to soldier on without even the necessities like decent helmets, proper webbing or bullet- proof jackets.
    II. The casualties during the 10 months have surpassed the estimated limit of casualties along the Indo-Pak border.
    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

I goes into details. Hence, I is not implicit. But II is implicit; that is why the opposition leader issues such a statement.
