    Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas.
    Assumptions:
    I. Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas.
    II. There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.

    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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [b] is correct. The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.
