Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : To investigate the murder of the lone resident of a flat, the police interrogated the domestic servant, the watchman of the multi-storeyed buildings and the liftman. Assumptions : I. The domestic servant, watchman and the liftman can give a clue about the suspected murder. II. Generally in such cases the persons known to the resident are directly or indirectly involved in the murder.

The correct answer is: Only assumption I is implicit.

The statement says that the police interrogated the domestic servant, the watchman of the multi-storeyed buildings and the liftman to investigate the murder of the lone resident of a flat. This implies that the police believe that these people may have some information about the murder. However, the statement does not say that the police believe that these people are definitely involved in the murder. Therefore, only assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit because the statement does not say anything about whether or not the persons known to the resident are generally involved in murders.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

• Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This is the correct answer. As explained above, the statement implies that the police believe that the domestic servant, the watchman of the multi-storeyed buildings and the liftman may have some information about the murder. However, the statement does not say that the police believe that these people are definitely involved in the murder. Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.
• Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This is not the correct answer. As explained above, the statement does not say anything about whether or not the persons known to the resident are generally involved in murders. Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.
• Option C: Either I or II is implicit. This is not the correct answer. As explained above, only assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit.
• Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This is the incorrect answer. As explained above, assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit.
• Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This is the incorrect answer. As explained above, only assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit.
