Question

Statement: ‘Smoking is injurious to health’, a warning printed on the cigarette packets.

Assumptions:

I. People read printed matter on a cigarette packet.

II. People take careful note of a warning.

III. Non – smoking promotes health.

• A. Only I is implicit
• B. I and II are implicit
• C. Only II is implicit
• D. All are implicit
• E. None is implicit

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Only II is implicit

There is special warning in printed form to caution people against the ill effects of smoking. Hence, assumption II is implicit but I is not. Further, ‘smoking is injurious to health’ does not mean non-smoking promotes health. Therefore, assumption III has no connection with the given statement. Hence, assumption III is not implicit.
