Direction: Each of these questions has a statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. Consider the statement and the following assumptions.

  1. Statement
    Store eatables in the deep freeze in order to preserve these for a long time.
    Assumptions
    I. Food material remains eatable even after deep freezing of a long time.
    II. It is not possible to store any eatable at room temperature even of a shorter period of time.
    1. if only Assumption I is implicit
    2. if only Assumption II is implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implit
    4. if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: A

Assumption I must be valid because only then does the storage make sense. Further, the statement has nothing to do with ''a shorter period of time''. Hence, Assumption II is invalid.
