Q1:

Statement: The integrated steel plants in India would no longer have to depend on imports for continuous casting refractories. Assumptions:
  1. Continuous casting refractories are needed by India.
  2. Continuous casting refractories are in demand.

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 mentions the self-sufficiency of India in continuous casting refractories. This means that they are needed in the country. So, I is implicit. Since continuous casting refractories are needed in integrated steel plants, it means they are in demand. So, II is implicit.
