Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Most people who stop smoking gain weight. Assumptions : I. If one stops smoking, one will gain weight. II. If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.
A.
Only assumption I is implicit
B.
Only assumption II is implicit
C.
Either I or II is implicit
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit
AnswerE.
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option D
Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'. So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit. The condition, if one does not stop smoking, cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is also not implicit.
