Statement: Today I must satisfy myself only by looking at a pink headed duck in an encyclopaedia.
Assumptions:
- Pink headed ducks are as good as extinct now.
- People refer to encyclopaedia to know only about things which do not exist now.
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 A
Explanation :
Since the narrator talks of satisfying himself by just looking at a picture in encyclopaedia, it means that pink headed ducks are not to be seen alive. So, I is implicit. But II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.
