  • Statement: "If you are a mechanical engineer, we want you as our supervisor." - An advertisement by Company X.

    Assumptions:

    1. Mechanical engineers are expected to be better performers by Company X.
    2. The Company X needs supervisors.
    3. Mechanical engineers may get attracted and apply to Company X.


  • Options

  • B. Only II and III are implicit
  • C. Only I and III are implicit
  • D. All are implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • All are implicit 

    Explanation
    Clearly, the company lends more importance to mechanical engineers. This shows that they are believed to perform better. So, I is implicit. Also, the advertisement is given because the company needs supervisors. So, II is implicit. Further, the advertisement is meant to attract only mechanical engineers for the vacancy in company X. Hence, III is also implicit.
