Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : Among all the articles, the prices of personal computers show the highest decline from June 2005 to December 2005. Assumptions : I. Comparative prices of all the articles in June and December 2005 were available. II. Prices of personal computers were higher in the first six months than the last six months of 2005.

The correct answer is: Only assumption I is implicit.

The statement only tells us that the prices of personal computers showed the highest decline from June 2005 to December 2005. It does not tell us anything about the prices of other articles. Therefore, assumption I is implicit. Assumption II is not implicit, because the statement does not tell us anything about the prices of personal computers in the first six months of 2005.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

• Option A: Only assumption I is implicit. This is the correct answer, as explained above.
• Option B: Only assumption II is implicit. This is not the correct answer, because assumption II is not implicit.
• Option C: Either I or II is implicit. This is not the correct answer, because assumption II is not implicit.
• Option D: Neither I nor II is implicit. This is not the correct answer, because assumption I is implicit.
• Option E: Both I and II are implicit. This is not the correct answer, because assumption II is not implicit.
