B.
Only assumption II is implicit
AnswerC.
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 talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.
