Question and options

Direction: In this question a statement and two assumptions are given. Choose the answer from the alternatives given based on the statement and assumptions.

Statement: "To buy a X - T.V, contact Y - the sole agent of X-T.V." - An advertisement.
Assumptions: I. People generally prefer to buy T.V. through sole agent.
II. Company X does not sell its T.V. sets directly to buyers.
  1. Only assumption I is implicit
  2. Only assumption II is implicit
  3. Both I and II are implicit
  4. Neither I nor II is implicit

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - Only assumption II is implicit
Naming Y as the sole agent through whom X-T.V. is to be bought presupposes that X itself does not sell directly to buyers (II implicit). The advertisement only tells buyers where to go; it says nothing about buyers in general preferring sole agents, so I is not implicit. Only II.
