Statement: Of all the radio sets manufactured in India, the 'X' brand has the largest sale. Assumptions: The sale of all the radio sets manufactured in India is known. The manufacturing of no other radio set in India is as large as 'X' brand radio.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

Correct Answer: Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation:

Clearly, the comparison could not be made without knowing the sale of all the radio sets. So, I is implicit. The statement mentions only that the sale is largest and nothing is mentioned about the manufacture. So, II is not implicit.
