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: Success is how much a person bounces up after hitting bottom.

Assumptions: I. Success requires conscious efforts without being discouraged by failure.

II. Failure cannot be considered an acceptable thing.


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 defines 'success' as bouncing up'. This means that success can be achieved by striving hard to touch the top, without being harassed by any of the hurdles which come in the way. So, I is implicit. The fact in II cannot be assumed from the given statement.
