Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Because of the large number of potholes in road X, reaching airport in time has become difficult. Assumptions : I. Reaching airport in time may not be always necessary. II. There is no other convenient road to the airport.

Only assumption I is implicit
B.
Only assumption II is implicit
Answer
C.
Either I or II is implicit
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit
E.
Both I and II are implicit

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The statement presents the issue of 'not reaching airport in time' as a problem. This means that reaching airport in time is necessary. So, I is not implicit. Besides, it is mentioned that reaching airport in time has become difficult due to large number of potholes in road X. This implies that road X is the only possible way. So, II is implicit.
