Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Everybody loves reading adventure stories. Assumptions : I. Adventure stories are the only reading material. II. Nobody loves reading any other material. III. All are literate.

A.
None is implicit
Answer
B.
Only I and II are implicit
C.
All are implicit
D.
Only II and III are implicit
E.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The statement mentions that adventure stories are liked by everybody. This does not mean that there is no other reading material or nobody loves reading any other material. So, neither I nor II is implicit. Besides, 'everybody' in the statement stands for 'all literate people' and not for 'all people'. So, III is also not implicit.
