Statement: Students who have not submitted the record book will not be allowed to appear in the practical examination.

Assumption:

1. Practical exams make students technically strong in the subject

2. Record Book is mandatory for appearing in the practical examination.

1. Only assumption 2 is implicit.
2. Only assumption 1 is implicit.
3. Both assumptions 1 and 2 are implicit.
4. Neither assumption 1 nor assumption 2 is implicit.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Only assumption 2 is implicit.

1. Practical exams make students technically strong in the subject.

The assumption is not implicit.

The statement does not mention anything related to the assumption given.

2. Record Book is mandatory for appearing in the practical examination.

The assumption is implicit.

The statement clearly states that students without submitting record books will not be allowed to appear in the practical examination. Thus, a record Book is mandatory for appearing in the practical examination.

Hence, only assumption 2 is implicit.
