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 their vehicles within the speed limit on the highways.
II. Motorists generally ignore such cautions and over speed on the highways.
Explanation:
To determine which assumptions are implicit in the given statement, we need to analyze the information provided.
Assumption I: Most of the motorists may drive their vehicles within the speed limit on the highways.
This assumption is implicit because the presence of large boards indicating the speed limit and dangers of over speeding suggests that the highway police authority expects motorists to follow the speed limit. By putting up these boards, they are aiming to create awareness and encourage motorists to drive within the specified speed limit. Therefore, assumption I is valid.
Assumption II: Motorists generally ignore such cautions and over speed on the highways.
This assumption is not implicit in the given statement. The statement only mentions that the highway police authority puts up large boards to indicate the speed limit and dangers of over speeding. It does not provide any information about the behavior of motorists in response to these boards. While it is possible that some motorists may ignore the cautions and over speed, it is not explicitly stated or implied in the statement. Therefore, assumption II is not valid.
Conclusion: Only assumption I is implicit in the given statement.
