Question and options

Directions: In this question, a statement is given followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the two assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
STATEMENT: "In order to bring punctuality in our office, we must provide conveyance allowance to our employees." - In charge of a company tells Personnel Manager.
ASSUMPTIONS:
I. Conveyance allowance will not help in bringing punctuality.
II. Employees who come late should be penalised.
  1. Only assumption I is implicit
  2. Only assumption II is implicit
  3. Either I or II is implicit
  4. Neither I nor II is implicit

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Neither I nor II is implicit
The in-charge assumes conveyance allowance WILL help punctuality, so I contradicts the statement. The statement proposes an incentive, not penalties, so II is not implied either. Neither is implicit.
