Statement: The next meeting of the Governing Board of the Institute will be held after one year.

Assumptions:

The Institute will remain in function after one year.
The Governing Board will be dissolved after one year.

[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:

That the meeting of the Governing Board will be held after one year means the Institute will be functioning at that time. So, I is implicit. The Board cannot be dissolved at the time" when its meeting starts. So, II is not implicit.

Is it implies that until the meeting is held the institute will not function?

The 2nd statement tells thae the govt ll dissolve, but in statement they dint mean any thing like dissolving after 1 yr, they only said that meeting ll b held only after 1 yr.. so i think option A is correct. And it is implicit, coz option 2 information is not related with statement.
