Question

Which assumptions are implied from the below statement?

Statement: Jadeja took 3 wickets and scored 55 not out in today’s match.

Assumptions:

I: Jadeja was the man of the match.

II: Jadeja was injured.

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 4 : Neither I nor II is implicit.

From the information above we cannot assume that Jadeja was the man of the match as there can be other players as well who performed better than him.

Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

Similarly, the information available in the statement above is completely contradicting the fact mentioned in the statement. If he was injured he can’t play and score.

Therefore, assumption II is also not implicit.

Hence, Neither I nor II is implicit.
