    Question

    In the 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 reduce energy consumption, all office lights will automatically switch off after 9 p.m." Assumptions: I. Some employees may forget to switch off the lights before leaving. II. Automatically switching off lights can help in reducing energy consumption.
    A Only assumption I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only assumption II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Assumption I is implicit because the rule introduces an automatic system, which suggests that relying on employees to manually switch off lights may not be effective. Assumption II is implicit because the stated purpose is "to reduce energy consumption," which presumes that automatic switching-off will indeed achieve that goal. Thus, both assumptions are implicit.
