Q1:

Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family. Assumptions:
  1. Every problem is caused by something.
  2. There are always some problems in a family.

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:D - Neither I nor II is implicit

Explanation: The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.
