Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Kartik left for Delhi on Tuesday by train to attend a function to be held on Friday at his uncle’s house in Delhi. Assumptions : I. Kartik may reach Delhi on Wednesday. II. Kartik may reach Delhi before Friday.

The correct answer is: Only assumption II is implicit.

The statement says that Kartik left for Delhi on Tuesday by train to attend a function to be held on Friday at his uncle’s house in Delhi. This means that Kartik must reach Delhi before Friday in order to attend the function. However, the statement does not say when Kartik will reach Delhi. It is possible that he will reach Delhi on Wednesday, but it is also possible that he will reach Delhi on Thursday or even Friday. Therefore, assumption I is not implicit.

Assumption II, on the other hand, is implicit. This is because if Kartik does not reach Delhi before Friday, he will not be able to attend the function. Therefore, we can assume that Kartik will reach Delhi before Friday.

To explain each option in brief:

• Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This is incorrect because assumption II is also implicit.
• Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This is correct.
• Option C: Either I or II is implicit. This is incorrect because assumption I is not implicit.
• Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This is incorrect because assumption II is implicit.
• Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This is incorrect because assumption I is not implicit.
