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:
    "If you see any street lights on during the day, or notice pilferage of electricity, do inform us." - A notice by NDPL to common people
    Assumptions:
    I. Watching TV together and using one fan/cooler/AC will help conserve electricity.
    II. Power generation is limited; joint efforts to conserve power would help maintain reliable supply of electricity.
    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

Assumption I may not be implicit. It is beyond the scope of the statement due to lack of any specific clue. But assumption II seems quite plausible. That is why people's participation has been sought.
