Statement: "X air-conditioner - the largest selling name with the largest range." - An advertisement. Assumptions: X air-conditioner is the only one with wide variations. There is a demand of air-conditioners in the market.

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 II is implicit

Explanation:

Clearly, the advertisement does not mention the word 'only' i.e. other air-conditioners may also have wide variations. So, I is not implicit. Also, the advertisement is given so that the people know about that which they demand. So, II is implicit.
