Statement:
In Bombay, trains are indispensable for people in the suburbs to reach their places of work on time.
Assumptions:
I. Trains are the only mode of transport available in the suburbs of Bombay.
II. Only trains run punctually.
- Only Assumption I is implicit
- Only Assumption II is implicit
- Neither I nor II is implicit
- Both I and II are implicit
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Neither I nor II is implicit
Indispensable means essential, not 'only mode' - other transport may exist, so I is not implied. Nothing says only trains are punctual, so II is not implied. Neither is implicit.
