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:
    If betting and match- fixing play a vital role in cricket , which makes the game ungentlemanly and ugly, there is absolutely no use of wasting precious time to watch the game of cricket which cheats the innocent.
    Assumptions:
    I. This contagious disease may spray to other games.
    II. Cricketers indulge in betting and match-fixing, and are exploiting innocent public feelings.
    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: B

I is not implicit. The statement has no relationship to other games. II is implicit because the speaker talks about the consequence only after assuming this.
