    Question

    In each question below is given a statement/passage

    followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement. Statement: A major airline announced that it will now offer substantial discounts to passengers who book their tickets at least two months in advance. Assumptions: I. Many passengers plan their trips well in advance. II. Early bookings help the airline manage its operations more efficiently.
    A Only I is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both I and II are implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Either I or II is implicit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The airline is offering discounts for early bookings, which indicates that it expects people to be willing and able to book early. Thus, Assumption I is implicit — the airline believes enough passengers plan trips early, otherwise the policy would not be effective. The statement does not mention operational efficiency or suggest that smoother operations are the reason for the offer. This may be true in reality, but it is not required for the announcement to make sense. So, Assumption II is not implicit.
