In the question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. Consider the statement and decide which of the assumption is implicit.

 Statement: "Use of cell phones and pagers is not allowed inside the auditorium.  Please switch off such devices while you are inside the auditorium." - A notice.

Assumptions:I. All those who have such devices will switch them off before they take their seats in the auditorium.

II. Generally people do not bring such devices when they come to attend functions in the auditorium.


A) If only assumption I is Implicit

B) If only assumption II is implicit

C) If either I or II is implicit

D) If neither I nor II is implicit

E) If both I and II are implicit

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The notice has clearly been put up to make it clear that use of cell phones and pagers would create disturbance in the auditorium. So, I is implicit. Further, such notice has been issued keeping in mind that a lot of people come with such devices to the auditorium. So, II is not implicit. Hence the answer is a.
