Question

Directions: The question consists of  statement and two assumptions. The student must first determine whether each statement is true. Choose the appropriate option after reading the three statements carefully.

Statement: "To keep myself up-to-date, I always listen to 9.00 p.m. news on radio."- A candidate tells the interview board.

Assumptions:

I. The candidate does not read newspaper.

II. Recent news is broadcast only on radio.

1. Only assumption I is implicit
2. Only assumption II is implicit
3. Either I or II is implicit
4. Neither I nor II is implicit
5. Both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Neither I nor II is implicit
The correct answer is option 4. Neither I nor II is implicit. The candidate listens to news on the radio does not mean that he does not read newspaper or that radio is the only source of recent news. So, neither I nor II is implicit.
