Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit

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...

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.

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