Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : “As there is a great demand, every person seeking tickets of the programme will be given only five tickets.” Assumptions : I. The organizers are not keen on selling the tickets. II. No one is interested in getting more than five tickets.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit E. Both I and II are implicit

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit

The statement “As there is a great demand, every person seeking tickets of the programme will be given only five tickets” does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption I or assumption II is true. It is possible that the organizers are not keen on selling the tickets, but it is also possible that they are simply trying to ensure that everyone who wants a ticket can get one. Similarly, it is possible that no one is interested in getting more than five tickets, but it is also possible that people would like to get more tickets but are limited to five by the organizers. Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II could be true, but we cannot say for sure which one is correct.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

  • Only assumption I is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption I is true. It is possible that the organizers are not keen on selling the tickets, but it is also possible that they are simply trying to ensure that everyone who wants a ticket can get one.
  • Only assumption II is implicit. This option is also incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption II is true. It is possible that no one is interested in getting more than five tickets, but it is also possible that people would like to get more tickets but are limited to five by the organizers.
  • Neither I nor II is implicit. This option is correct because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether either assumption I or assumption II is true.
  • Both I and II are implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether both assumption I and assumption II are true.
