Correct Answer - Option 1 : Both A and B are implicit

The logic followed is:

As the statements talk about the electricity board has started going from home to home to collect bills.

Assumption I is implicit because electricity board has started going from home to home to collect bills since people have to face many problems.

B. The electricity board has increased its focus on collecting bills.

From the statement, we can assume that if non - renewable sources of energy go exhausted, the next generation will not be able to use them and will have to think of alternatives as non - renewable energy will extinct if we are not saving it.

Therefore, Assumption II is implicit.

Hence, Both A and B are implicit

  1. Read the statement with an approach that the assumptions would be true about the statement.
  2. Do not go too logical with the statements. Analyze the given information and the assumption must only be made based on the information in the statement. Do not over-complicate it.
  3. Common assumptions can always be followed but other than that do not align the statement with General Knowledge or other facts
  4. Use the elimination method if you are unable to apprehend the answer. Read the statement and then the assumptions given in the options, you shall notice that a few of them will most definitely not follow. Eliminate them and then choosing from lesser options may prove to be more convenient
  5. One thing to note is that the assumption is something that the author believes to be true, so while choosing the correct option, keep this thought in mind. If any option contradicts the statement, then that assumption will not follow.
