In case you are likely to be late inform me - Mr. A tells his clerk. Assumptions : I. The clerk never informs about his late coming. II. The clerk may not obey Mr. X instructions. III.

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

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Clearly, the statement is merely a reminder. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the clerk is expected to execute his boss' order. So, II is not implicit. Also, a hunch that the clerk may not inform about his late coming has led Mr. A to instruct the clerk to do so. So, III is implicit.
