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: The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents. 

Assumptions: I. The Government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.

                     II. There may be a reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.


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:

Clearly, the amount of compensation must have been decided to keep in mind the monetary position of the Government. So I is implicit. However, nothing can be said about the frequency of railway accidents in future. So, II is not implicit.
