Statement: Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas.

Assumptions:

  1. Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas.
  2. There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.

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:
The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.

Yes. Nowhere in the statement there is a mention for rural areas getting low-grade liquor.

As far as I believe Statement1 is implicit.

I too think it is option B because it is about food poisoning, not consumption.
