Question

Consider the given statements and decide which of the given assumptions is corroborated with the statement.

Statement-

This detergent cleans better than other detergents.

Assumptions-

I. There are other detergents in the market.

II. No other detergents clean better.

1. Only the assumption I is implicit.
2. Neither । nor II is implicit.
3. Only assumption II is implicit.
4. Both I and II are implicit.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Both I and II are implicit.

• The given statement says that this detergent cleans better than "other detergents" which means more than one detergents are present in the market.
• So the first assumption is implicit.
• The second assumption 'No other detergents clean better.' is implicit since the statement means that this detergent cleans better than "all" the others, thus there is no other detergent that cleans better than this one.
• So assumption II is also implicit.

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
