Statement and Assumption - Verbal and Reasoning

Directions to SolveIn each question below is given a statement followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions, decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement and choose your answer accordingly.
Q1:

Statement: "I want to present a book on techniques of yoga to Ajay on his birthday."- A tells B. Assumptions:
  1. A will be invited by Ajay on his birthday.
  2. The person, to whom the book is to be presented, is not keeping good health.
  3. Book is an acceptable gift for birthday.

A Only I and II are implicit

B Only II and III are implicit

C Only I and III are implicit

D None is implicit

E All are implicit

ANS:C - Only I and III are implicit

Explanation: Since A has decided to gift a book to Ajay on his birthday, it is quite evident that he will be invited by Ajay and that a book is an acceptable gift. So, both I and III are implicit. Nothing about the state of health of the person can be deduced from the statement. So, II is not implicit.
