    Question

    In each question below is given a statement followed

    by two assumptions numbered I and II. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. Statement: "The city council should introduce free public transportation for senior citizens above the age of 65." Assumptions: I. There are senior citizens in the city who face difficulty in paying for transportation. II. Providing free transportation to seniors will significantly improve their mobility.
    A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement proposes free public transport for senior citizens. Assumption I is implicit because such a suggestion makes sense only if some senior citizens indeed struggle to afford transportation. Assumption II is not implicit because the statement does not mention or assume the impact (improvement in mobility). It only proposes a benefit, not a guaranteed outcome. Therefore, only Assumption I is implicit.
