Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Neither assumption I nor II is implicit
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
The sentence links the goal (more usable space) with the means (extra FSI). We must test whether it presupposes ignorance of the term FSI or a claim about cost reduction.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Neither is necessary. The advice stands regardless of the listener’s prior knowledge (the term can be used among professionals), and cost may rise with more space; the statement is about feasibility, not cost savings.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1) I not required: expertise of the listener is irrelevant to the logic.2) II not required: cost behavior is not asserted; often more area increases absolute cost.
Verification / Alternative check:
Whether or not the person knows FSI, getting more FSI remains the structural route to more buildable area.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option claiming I or II adds unnecessary or incorrect content.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming every instruction implies ignorance or a cost claim; here it merely states a planning precondition.
Final Answer:
Neither assumption I nor II is implicit.
