Q.

Statement: Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas.
Assumptions:
I.Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas.
II.There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.
                        
A. Only assumption I is implicit B. Only assumption II is implicit
C. Either I or II is implicit D. Neither I nor II is implicit

Answer: Option B
Explaination:

 


The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.
