    E Both the assumptions I and II are implicit. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement says that we “ should ” work hard for success. If it is obligatory for us to work hard for success, then it must be implicit that success in an examination be desirable. The second assumption states the pupils who work hard taste the fruit of success. This assumption is also clearly implicit because if there were no reward for working hard in the form of success, then there would be no incentive to work hard. Thus it is evident that both assumptions I and II are implicit.
