You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.
Statement: Postal rates have been increased to meet the deficit.
Assumptions:
I. The present rates are very low.
II. If the rates are not increased, the deficit can not be met.

Options

A. a. if only Assumption 1 is implicit
B. b. if only Assumption Il is implicit
C. c. if either I or II is implicit
D. d. if neither I nor II is implicit

Answer

D

Explanation

It is not clear from the statement that present rates are very low. Also, it cannot be said that increasing the rates is the only way to meet the deficit. Hence, neither I nor II is implicit.
