Question:

Statement: It is faster to travel by air to Pune from Lucknow.

Assumptions (I): Pune and Lucknow are connected by air.

(II): There are no other means of transport available to Pune from Lucknow.

Read the statement and assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Options:

Only (I) is implicit.

Only (II) is implicit.

Both (I) and (II) are implicit.

Neither (I) nor (II) is implicit.

Correct Answer:

Only (I) is implicit.

Explanation:

The statement "It is faster to travel by air to Pune from Lucknow" implies that there is an air route available between Pune and Lucknow, which is assumption (I).

The statement does not necessarily assume that there are no other means of transport available, which is assumption (II).

Thus, Only (I) is implicit is correct.
