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: Kartik left for Delhi on Tuesday by train to attend a function to be held on Friday at his uncle's house in Delhi.

Assumptions: I. Kartik may reach Delhi on Wednesday.

II. Kartik may reach Delhi before Friday.


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 B

Explanation:

Clearly, it cannot be deduced as to which day Kartik would reach Delhi. But Kartik has left for Delhi to attend a function to be held on Friday. So, he must have planned his journey to reach Delhi before Friday. Thus, only II is implicit.
