  • Question
  • Statement: Give this packet to Mr. X at his residence and return immediately. In case you are likely to be late inform me - Mr. A tells his clerk.

    Assumptions:

    1. The clerk never informs about his late coming.
    2. The clerk may not obey Mr. As instructions.
    3. The clerk may not inform his late coming unless instructed.


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

  • Correct Answer
  • Only III is implicit 

    Explanation
    Clearly, the statement is merely a reminder. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the clerk is expected to execute his boss' order. So, II is not implicit. Also, a hunch that the clerk may not inform about his late coming has led Mr. A to instruct the clerk to do so. So, III is implicit.
