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:
    Even thought the number of factories is increasing at a fast rate in India, we still continue to import it from other countries.
    Assumption:
    I. Even the increased number of factories may be not able to meet the demand for sugar in India.
    II. The demand for sugar may increased substantially in future.
    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: A

Assumption I is implicit because it is this that us import sugar in spite of increase in the number of sugar factories.
But II is not implicit because "future" is beyond the scope of the statement.
