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 assumptions is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement:
    "High-tension wire can be extremely dangerous. Keep a safe distance from them." - A notice by Delhi Transco Limited
    Assumptions:
    I. High-tension wires are laid in complete accordance with the law along routes that are legally approved by the concerned authorities.
    II. Buildings are sometimes constructed near high-tension lines after they have been laid, thereby reducing the minimum required safe distance to high tension wires.
    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

Both I and II can't be correlated with the statement. Hence, neither I nor II is implicit.
