  • Question
  • Statement: "I want to present a book on techniques of yoga to Ajay on his birthday."- A tells B.

    Assumptions:

  • Options
  • A. Only I and II are implicit
  • B. Only II and III are implicit
  • C. Only I and III are implicit
  • D. None is implicit
  • E. All are implicit

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and III are implicit 

    Explanation
    Since A has decided to gift a book to Ajay on his birthday, it is quite evident that he will be invited by Ajay and that a book is an acceptable gift. So, both I and III are implicit. Nothing about the state of health of the person can be deduced from the statement. So, II is not implicit.
