    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: Based on a tip-off, the Forest officials have arrested four persons for poisoning an eight-year-old male tiger.

    I. Due to the effect of poisoning, the tiger died.

    II. Someone had informed the forest officials about the tiger being poisoned.

    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

    It is mentioned that based on a tip off, the forest officials  arrested persons involved. But we don’t know if the tiger died or was saved, hence only statement II is implicit and option 2 is the correct answer.
