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:
    Banking has traditionally been a highly-sought-after career because of its stability and the growth prospects it offers.
    Assumptions:
    I. People of modern times do not value stability any longer.
    II. People love stability but not stagnation.
    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

We don't know whether "people of modern times" are opposed to what has "traditionally" been there. Hence I is not implicit. II is implicit because "growth prospects" are as important as "stability".
