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
Even after retirement from international cricket, the ‘Rawalpindi express’ is in the controversy again.This time he targeted Sachin Tendulkar through his book ‘controversially yours’, a news about Shoaib Akhtar.

Assumptions
I. Shoaib Akhtar does not play test cricket now.
II. One can target anybody through one’s write up.

• 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 E If both Assumptions I and II are implicit

‘Retirement from international cricket’ means Shoaib does not play test cricket now as test cricket is a part of international cricket. Hence, Assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is also implicit because it is clearly said that Shoaib trageted Tendulkar through his book and a book is a write up.
