Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : "As our business is expanding, we need to appoint more staff." Owner of a company informs his staff. Assumptions : I. The present staff is not competent. II. More staff will further expand the business. III. Suitable persons to be taken as staff will be available.

Answer: Option D

The statement mentions that the present staff is insufficient, not incompetent. So, I is not implicit. Also, the purpose for appointing more staff is to control the expanding business, not to expand it further. So, II is not implicit. Since the company owner talks of appointing more staff, so III is implicit.
