  • Question
  • Statement: The education of a student at collegiate level, not taking into account maintenance expenses, costs four hundred rupees a year. Collegiate education is thus drawing heavily upon the national resources of an impoverished community. So college education should be restricted to a brilliant few.

    Assumptions:

    1. Our resources are very limited.
    2. Only a few students should be admitted to the colleges.


  • Options
  • A. Only assumption I is implicit
  • B. Only assumption II is implicit
  • C. Either I or II is implicit
  • D. Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E. Both I and II are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  • Both I and II are implicit 

    Explanation
    The use of the words 'impoverished community' in the statement makes I implicit while the phrase 'college education should be restricted to a brilliant few' makes II implicit.
