Direction: In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptions number 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 assumptions is implicit in the statement.

  1. Statement:
    Many employees of the organisation applied for special sabbatical leaves of two years to pursue higher education.
    Assumption:
    I. The management of the organisation may not grand leave of most of these employees.
    II. These employees may be able to complete their education during the sabbatical leave.
    1. if only assumption I is implicit.
    2. if only assumption II is implicit.
    3. if either assumption I or II is implicit.
    4. if neither assumption I nor II is implicit.
    5. if both assumption I and II are implicit.
Correct Option: B

When one applies for leave, one assumes that it would be granted. Hence I is not implicit. But Assumption II is implicit because only then the period of "two years" assumes meaning.
