Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The government is making efforts to boost tourism in State X. Assumptions : I. Tourism in State X dropped following political unrest. II. Special discounts in the air fare have been announced.

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

The statement “The government is making efforts to boost tourism in State X” does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption I or assumption II is true. It is possible that tourism in State X dropped following political unrest, and that the government is making efforts to boost tourism by offering special discounts in the air fare. However, it is also possible that tourism in State X has always been low, and that the government is making efforts to boost tourism by other means, such as advertising or building new tourist attractions. Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II could be true, but we cannot say for certain which one is true.

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 tourism in State X dropped following political unrest, but it is also possible that tourism in State X has always been low.
• Only assumption II is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption II is true. It is possible that special discounts in the air fare have been announced, but it is also possible that the government is making efforts to boost tourism by other means, such as advertising or building new tourist attractions.
• Either I or II is implicit. This option is correct because the statement does not provide enough information to determine whether assumption I or assumption II is true. It is possible that both assumptions are true, but it is also possible that only one of them is true, or that neither of them is true.
• Neither I nor II is implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does provide enough information to determine that assumption I or assumption II is true. It is possible that both assumptions are true, but it is also possible that only one of them is true, or that neither of them is true.
• Both I and II are implicit. This option is incorrect because the statement does not provide enough information to determine that assumption I and assumption II are both true. It is possible that both assumptions are true, but it is also possible that only one of them is true, or that neither of them is true.
