Consider the given statement and decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Statement:

Assumptions:

(I) Container contains oxygen.

(II) Container contains helium.

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

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Neither I nor II are implicit.

Given,

Statement:

This container contains gas.

Assumptions:

(I) Container contains oxygen → Not implicit as we don't know the container contains which gas.

(II) Container contains helium → Not implicit as we don't know the container contains which gas.

 

Hence the correct answer is Neither I nor II is implicit.
