Direction: 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 of the assumption(s) is/are implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement
    Many organisations have switched over to online mode of examinations.
    Assumptions
    I. Candidates from all parts of the country may be well versed using computers.
    II. Online mode of examinations helps in recruiting more capable personnel.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit
    2. if only assumption II is implicit
    3. if either Assumption I or II is implicit
    4. if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
Correct Option: A

Assumption I is implicit because only then switching over to online mode makes sense. But in case of Assumption II, the switching Over may have been prompted by economic factors or those of convenience. Hence, II is not implicit.
