Statement: Whenever you have any doubt on this subject, you may refer to the book by Enn and Enn. Assumptions: The book by Enn and Enn is available. There is no other book on this subject.

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 recommendation of the book by Enn and Enn implies that it is available. So, I is implicit. Also, the book has been referred to as a good one, but this does not mean that no other books are available on the subject. So, II is not implicit.
