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: Use 'X' brand shoes. These are durable and available in all sizes. - An advertisement in the newspaper A. Assumptions:

  2. Very few people read advertisement in a newspaper.
  3. Very few people read the newspaper A.

A None is implicit

B Only I and II are implicit

C Only I, and either II or III are implicit

D All are implicit

E None of these

ANS:C - Only I, and either II or III are implicit

Explanation: Any advertisement highlights only the desirable qualities of the product. So, I is implicit. The 'X' brand has advertised its product in newspaper A. This implies that a large section of people reads advertisements in newspapers and that newspaper A too has a wide circulation. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
