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: Traffic jams on most of the roads in the city have become a regular feature during monsoon.

Assumptions: I. Material used for road construction cannot withstand the fury of monsoon resulting into innumerable potholes on the roads.

                    II. Number of vehicles coming on the roads is much more in monsoon as compared to other seasons.


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 problem of traffic jams arises during monsoons not because of increased number of vehicles but due to slow movement of traffic on account of bad road. So, only I is implicit.
