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:
    "It is tall claims that our state X is progressing on industrial front. Rising unemployment by leaps and bounds is enough to collaborate it." - View of a politician of state X
    Assumptions:
    I. If the state were progressing on the industrial front it should have been reflected in the unemployment situation.
    II. Progress on industrial front reduces financial crunch.
    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: A

Here II is irrelevant. Hence, II is not Implicit. But I must have been assumed by the politician; otherwise how can the status of industrial progress be related with unemployment?
