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 |
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
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.
