In each question below a statement is given followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Statement : There are no river sand quarries employing machines and sand extraction is done manually and transportation through carts.

I. The river sand quarries used to deploy machinery for sand extraction and for transportations.

II. The sand quarrying industry is hit because of the government directive to stop using machinery for sand extraction and transportation

A if only I implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B if only II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C if either I or II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D if neither I nor II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
E if both I and II implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

We can’t infer from assumption I if sand quarries used to deploy machinery earlier and we also don’t know if there was any government directive as stated in assumption II. Hence correct answer option is 4.
