Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement:
    The civic authority has advised the residents in the area to use mosquito repellents or sleep inside nets as large number of people are suffering from malaria.
    Assumption:
    I. Local residents have enough money to arrange for the repellents or nets.
    II. People may ignore and continue to get mosquito bites as they have other pressing needs.
    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 are implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: A

The civic authority has advised residents to keep away from mosquitoes to avert the risk of malaria. Such an advice would surely be adhered to by the people. So, II is not implicit. Besides, it has been advised to use mosquito repellents or nets. This means that people can afford to buy the same. So, I is implicit.
