Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement:
    "Students are not allowed to wear western dresses on the university campus."----V.C. of a reputed university.
    Assumptions:
    I. It looks vulgar and encourages more eve-teasing.
    II. If the girls will come to the college in Indian dresses then they will concentrate more on studies.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: A

The VC is assuming I; that is why he has restricted wearing western dresses on the campus. We can't relate their studies with their dress and hence assumption II is not implicit.
