Question and options
Directions: In the question, a statement is given, followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Give answer:
Statement: If he is intelligent, he will pass the examination.
Assumptions: I. He is intelligent.
II. He will pass the examination.
Assumptions: I. He is intelligent.
II. He will pass the examination.
- If only assumption I is implicit.
- If only assumption II is implicit.
- If either I or II is implicit.
- If neither I nor II is implicit.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - If neither I nor II is implicit.
A conditional 'if he is intelligent, he will pass' does not assume that he is intelligent (I) or that he will pass (II); both depend on the condition. So neither is implicit.
