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:
    "Disconnect your TV cable connections"--------A maulana issued a fatwa because of thin attendance during prayers at the mosque.
    Assumptions:
    I. TV programmes are more popular than prayers.
    II. Prayer is more important than watching TVs.
    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: E

The maulana is assuming both. He feels that though programs are more popular than prayers, they are less important. Hence the appeal.
