22.

Statement: Ten candidates, who were on the waiting list, could finally be admitted to the course.

Assumptions:

  1. Wait-listed candidates do not ordinarily get admission.
  2. A large number of candidates were on the waiting list.
  3. The number of candidates to be admitted is small.

None is implicit
Only I and II are implicit
Only II and III are implicit
Only I and III are implicit
All are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since the wait-listed candidates have been admitted, so I is not implicit. Also, nothing about the number of candidates on the waiting list or the number to be admitted can be deduced from the statement. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
