Question

In the question a statement is followed by two assumptions. These assumptions may or may not be implicit in the statement. Select your response in accordance with the following code.

Statement: If Ram has finished reading the instructions, let him begin activities accordingly.

Assumption I: Ram has understood the instructions.

Assumption II: Ram would be able to act accordingly.

Options

• Only assumption I is implicit 

• Only assumption II is implicit 

• Both assumptions I and II are implicitly

• Neither of the assumption I and II is implicit

Answer 1

Only assumption I is implicit 

Explanation:

Assumption I follows as that is the condition for starting the activities. Assumption II does not follow,  as ‘beginning the activity accordingly’ may not mean ‘  would be able to act accordingly’. Therefore, "Only assumption I is implicit" is the correct option.
