Statement and Assumption - Verbal and Reasoning

Q1:

Statement: "In my absence, I request you to look after the affairs of our company." - B tells C. Assumptions:
  1. C may not accept the request of B.
  2. C has the expertise to handle the affairs of the company.

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

E Both I and II are implicit

ANS:B - Only assumption II is implicit

Explanation: C's response to B's request cannot be deduced from the statement. So, I is not implicit. Also, B wishes to authorise C to look after the company in his absence. This means that C is capable of handling the affairs. So, II is implicit.
