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: The alumni of the institute returned to rescue crumbling building of 112-year-old alma mater.

    I. The Building of the institute was built 112 years ago at the time of its inception

    II. The alumni visited the institute after a long period of time.

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

    Solution

    We can’t make out when was the building constructed. We also don’t know if the alumni had not visited the school in the interim, hence both assumptions are not implicit and option 4 is the correct answer.
