In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the assumption is implicit.

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.


A) If only assumption I is Implicit

B) If only assumption II is implicit

C) If either I or II is implicit

D) If neither I nor II is implicit

E) If both I and II are implicit

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

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