Give answer : Statement : Today I must satisfy myself only by looking at a pink headed duck in an encyclopedia. Assumptions : I. Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now. II. People refer to encyclopedia to know only about things which do not exist now.

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

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
