Question

In each question below is given a statement 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 which of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement

Statement
Imprisonment for 27 year made Nelson Mandela the President.

Assumptions
I. Only who will be imprisoned for 27 year will become the President.
II. To become the President, imprisonment is a qualification.

• A. If only Assumption I is implicit
• B. If only Assumption II is implicit
• C. If either Assumption I or II is implicit
• D. If neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
• E. If both Assumptions I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is D If neither Assumption I nor II is implicit

The given statement does not mean imprisonment is necessary. Nelson Mandela’s dedicated service to the nation and his struggle for freedom, despite so many hardships won him the desired public appeal to be elected the President. Hence, neither I nor II is implicit.
