Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The civic authority has advised the residents in the area to use mosquito repellents or sleep inside nets as large number of people are suffering from malaria. Assumptions : I. Local residents have enough money to arrange for the repellents or nets. II. People may ignore and continue to get mosquito bites as they have other pressing needs.

The correct answer is: Only assumption I is implicit.

The statement says that the civic authority has advised the residents to use mosquito repellents or sleep inside nets. This means that the civic authority believes that using mosquito repellents or sleeping inside nets will help to prevent malaria. However, the statement does not say anything about whether or not the residents have enough money to buy mosquito repellents or nets. Therefore, assumption I is implicit.

Assumption II is not implicit. The statement does not say anything about whether or not people will ignore the advice and continue to get mosquito bites. It is possible that people will follow the advice and use mosquito repellents or sleep inside nets. It is also possible that people will ignore the advice and continue to get mosquito bites. Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:

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