    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: "To ensure fair participation, each student will be allowed to submit only one entry for the science competition." Assumptions: I. Students may try to submit multiple entries if not restricted. II. Allowing only one entry per student will help maintain fairness in the competition.
    A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement imposes a restriction—only one entry per student—which implies: Assumption I: Without such a rule, students might submit multiple entries. Otherwise, there is no need for the restriction.
    → Implicit. Assumption II: The purpose of the rule is to ensure fairness, meaning the organizers believe that limiting entries helps maintain fairness.
    → Implicit. Therefore, both assumptions are implicit.
