Q1:

Statement: "If you want timely completion of work, provide independent cabins," - An employee tells the Director of a Company. Assumptions:
  1. There are not enough cabins.
  2. Others' presence hinders timely completion of work.

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:E - Both I and II are implicit

Explanation: The statement clearly hints at the need for cabins. So, I is implicit. Since independent cabins are expected to improve efficiency, it means that others' presence hinders work. So, II is also implicit.
