Q1:

Statement: Kartik left for Delhi on Tuesday by train to attend a function to be held on Friday at his uncle's house in Delhi. Assumptions:
  1. Kartik may reach Delhi on Wednesday.
  2. Kartik may reach Delhi before Friday.

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
