Question

Which assumptions are implied from the below statement?

Statement: Tanmay is a national level chess player.

Assumptions:

I: Tanmay has played with Viswanathan Anand.

II: Tanmay has defeated many players in chess.

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

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Only II is implicit.

From the information above we cannot assume the players with which Tanmay has played chess.

Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

However, the information available in the statement above is sufficient to assume that Tanmay might have defeated many players in chess as he qualified for the nationals.

Therefore, assumption II is implicit.

Hence, Only II is implicit.
