The Answer should be A, like a mad man means he is not a mad man. Because the statement is given by himself.

The statement says 'like a mad man' means acting like it but soemone who is enacting will be only acting not exactly being same.

If one say "like a mad man". Than it means that he can understand atlest the basic difference between a mad and a common man.

I agree with the previous comment, I don't see the point in these implicit questions, the point I think they are trying to make is "what are all the possible assumptions we can take from this statement". The word implicit is misleading in these tests...

Answer could have been correct if the question had been "Like a mad man, He decided to follow him" (He in place of I)

I guess the answer is wrong bcoz they have said "Like a ..." so it means for that particular time period he acted as if he was mad.

He follow the person like a mad man, that show he is not a mad man. Because he know the difference between mad man and common man.

No, a mad man could know that he is a mad man, being a mad man does not disabled that person ability to recognize his own madness.

He is not mad it is true but when he followed him he acted like a mad so both are correct.
