Statement: Provide mid-day meals to the children in primary schools to increase the number of students attending schools. Assumptions: Mid-day meals will attract the children to the schools. Those children who are otherwise deprived of good food will attend the schools.

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:

Providing mid-day meals would attract more number of children as an added privilege and not because the children are deprived of good meals at home. So, only I is implicit.
