In each question below is given a statement followed by two assumptio...
Statement: The highway police authority put up large boards at regular intervals indicating the speed limit and dangers of over speeding on the highways.
Assumptions:
I. Most of the motorists may drive vehicles within the speed limit on the highways.
II. Motorists generally ignore such cautions and over speed on the highways.
Explanation:
The statement mentions that the highway police authority has put up large boards at regular intervals indicating the speed limit and dangers of over speeding on the highways. Based on this, let's analyze the assumptions:
Assumption I: Most of the motorists may drive vehicles within the speed limit on the highways.
The statement does not provide any information about the behavior of motorists. It only mentions that the highway police authority has put up boards indicating the speed limit and dangers of over speeding. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that most of the motorists will drive within the speed limit. Hence, Assumption I is not implicit in the statement.
Assumption II: Motorists generally ignore such cautions and over speed on the highways.
This assumption is directly mentioned in the statement itself. The fact that the highway police authority has put up boards indicating the speed limit and dangers of over speeding implies that they believe motorists generally ignore such cautions and over speed on the highways. Therefore, Assumption II is implicit in the statement.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'B' - If only Assumption II is implicit.
