In this question a statement is given which is followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumption (s) is/are implicit in the statement.
Statement: A's advice to B -"Go to Jammu via Amritsar- the shortest route"
Assumptions:
I. B wishes to go to Jammu.
II. A gives advice to everybody.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let's analyze the statement:
"A's advice to B - 'Go to Jammu via Amritsar- the shortest route'"
To answer this question, we need to identify which assumptions are implicit in the statement.
Assumption I: "B wishes to go to Jammu"
This assumption is implicit because the statement implies that B is going to Jammu, as A's advice is about the shortest route to Jammu.
Assumption II: "A gives advice to everybody"
This assumption is not implicit because the statement only mentions A's advice to B, not everybody. It could be that A only gives advice to specific people, not everyone.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
If only assumption I is implicit.
