Statement: "Put. a notice on the board that all the employees should come on time to office." - An officer tells his assistant.

Assumptions:

  2. Employees read such notice on the board.
  3. Employees will follow the instructions.

Only I and II are implicit
Only III is implicit
Only II and III are implicit
Only I and III are implicit
All are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The notice directs all the employees to come on time. This does not mean that all of them come late. So, I is not implicit. Since the officer orders the assistant to put the notice on the board, it is evident that the employees read such notice on the board. So, II is implicit. Also, the employees have to comply with the orders of the officer. So, III is implicit.
