Question

Statement: "If I am not well you will have to go for the meeting/" - A manager tells his subordinate.
Assumptions:
I. It is not necessary that only manager level personnel attend the meeting.
II. If the manager is well, he would himself like to go for the meeting.

• 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

Clearly, the subordinate can attend the meeting as told by the Manager only when there is no inhibition. So, I is implicit. The subordinate is told to go only in case when the Manager is not well. This also shows the urgency to attend the meeting. So, II is also implicit.
