Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family. Assumptions: Every problem is caused by something. There are always some problems in a family.

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: Neither I nor II is implicit

Explanation:

The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.
