 Statement: The city bus transport corporation has decided to change the routes of three buses plying between points A and B in the city to make them economically viable

Assumptions: I. These buses may get more passengers on the revised routes.

II. Many people residing on the old routes may not avail of bus services.


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 statement mentions that the routes have been so changed as to make them economically viable. This means that new stoppages have been so selected as to cater to a larger number of people than before. So, I is implicit. Further, the people already travelling by these buses would not be devoid of the same and they would also get the facility in their vicinity, be it the same,bus or another one. So, II is not implicit.
