Statement: Deepak has a large collection of books and he keeps on purchasing new books to add to his collection. Assumptions: Deepak loves and cares for books. Deepak has read each and every book that he has purchased.

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:

The statement clearly reflects Deepak's exceptional interest in books. So, I is implicit. However, how many books of his collection he has gone through, cannot be deduced from the statement. Thus, II is not implicit.
