Statement: "The programme will start at 6 p.m. but you can come there up to 7 p.m. or so and still there is no problem." Assumptions: The programme will continue even after 7 p.m. The programme may not even start by that time.

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 mentions that there is no problem if one comes upto 7 p.m. also. This means that the programme will continue even after 7 p.m. So, I is implicit. Also, it is clearly mentioned that the programme will start at 6 p.m. So, II is not implicit.
