Statement–Assumption — “On the net, an entrepreneur located in the metaphorical Jhumritalaiya can become a global player.” Assumptions: I. The net is the best way to advertise an entrepreneur nowadays. II. Only entrepreneurs related to computer software can become global players.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: if neither I nor II is implicit.

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The claim is that the internet allows an entrepreneur—even from a remote place (“Jhumritalaiya”)—to operate globally. We test which assumptions must be true for this claim.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • The net provides reach, distribution, communication, and transaction capabilities.
  • No comparison to “best” advertising channels is required.
  • No restriction to software businesses is stated.


Concept / Approach:
The minimal premise is that the internet can bridge geography for entrepreneurs across sectors (products, services, content, etc.). Superlatives (“best way”) or sectoral exclusivity (“only software”) are not necessary.



Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Assumption I: The claim works even if the net is merely a viable channel, not necessarily the “best” advertising medium. Hence I is not implicit.2) Assumption II: The statement allows any entrepreneur to scale via the net; it does not restrict to software. Thus II is not implicit.3) Therefore, neither assumption is implicit.



Verification / Alternative check:
E-commerce, D2C brands, education, and creative services show internet-enabled global reach beyond software.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Picking I or II adds unnecessary constraints not required by the statement.



Common Pitfalls:
Reading “global player” as “software exporter only,” and confusing “viable” with “best.”



Final Answer:
if neither I nor II is implicit.
