Q1:

Statement: Deepak has a large collection of books and he keeps on purchasing new books to add to his collection. Assumptions:
  1. Deepak loves and cares for books.
  2. Deepak has read each and every book that he has purchased.

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:A - Only assumption I is implicit

Explanation: The statement clearly reflects Deepak's exceptional interest in books. So, I is implicit. However, how many books of his collection he has gone through, cannot be deduced from the statement. Thus, II is not implicit.
