    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

    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.
