Question

Statement: A warning in a train compartment - "To stop train, pull chain. Penalty for improper use $Rs.500$."
Assumptions:
I. Some people misuse the alarm chain.
II. On certain occasions, people may want to stop a running train.

• A. Only assumption I is implicit
• B. Only assumption II is implicit
• C. Either I or II is implicit
• D. Neither I nor II is implicit
• E. Both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is E Both I and II are implicit

The statement says about the chain, its use and penalty.

As in assumption I it talks about the misuse of the chain so indicates the need of imposing penalty whereas assumption II says that it can be used to stop the train on special occasion.

Thus both the assumption supports the statement.

Hence option E is correct.
