Statement: ‘A’ computer — “the largest selling name with the largest range,” says an advertisement. Assumptions: I. ‘A’ computer is the only brand offering wide variations. II. There is sufficient market demand for computers. Choose the option that identifies which assumption(s) is/are implicit.

Introduction / Context:
Advertisements typically bank on existing or inducible demand. The claim “largest selling name with the largest range” tries to persuade buyers by implying popularity and variety.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• An ad asserts market leadership and wide product range.
• Goal: drive sales by appealing to consumer confidence.

Concept / Approach:
An implicit assumption is one the advertisement relies on to make sense. It need not be factually true; it must be presupposed for the persuasion attempt to be meaningful.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Assumption I: “Only ‘A’ offers wide variations.” The ad says “largest range,” not “only range.” Exclusivity is not required to persuade; I is unnecessary.Assumption II: “There is demand for computers.” If no one needs computers, boasting about sales and range would be pointless. The ad presupposes a market exists. II is necessary.

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if competitors also have many models (I false), the ad can still work. If there were no demand (II false), the message would be futile.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only I,” “either,” and “both” wrongly require exclusivity. “Neither” ignores the basic demand presupposition.

Common Pitfalls:
Reading “largest” as “only.”

Final Answer:
if only Assumption II is implicit
