    Question

    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: A construction worker was buried alive when mud from a 20-ft high pit collapsed on him and four others.

    Assumption I: The other four people buried under the mud from the pit have been saved.

    Assumption II: The 20-ft high pit collapsed owing to spurious quality of construction material used.

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

    Solution

    Because it is mentioned that one worker was buried alive we can assume that others are safe. There is nothing mentioned about the reason of this accident, hence only Assumption I is implied and correct answer is 1.
