35.

Statement: "If I am not well you will have to go for the meeting." - A manager tells his subordinate.

Assumptions:

  1. It is not necessary that only manager level personnel attend the meeting.
  2. If the manager is well, he would himself like to go for the meeting.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the subordinate can attend the meeting as told by the Manager only when there is no inhibition. So, I is implicit. The subordinate is told to go only in case when the Manager is not well. This also shows the urgency to attend the meeting. So, II is also implicit.
