Statement: Shalini made an application to the bank for a loan of Rs. 1,80,000 by mortgaging her house to the bank and promised to repay it within five years.

Assumptions:

  1. The bank has a practice of granting loans for Rs. 1,00,000 and above.
  2. The bank accepts house as collateral security against such loans.

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 fact that Shalini has applied for a loan of Rs. 1,80,000 implies that the bank can grant a loan above Rs. 1,00,000. So, I is implicit. II also follows directly from the statement and so is implicit.

Only 2 is implicit, I think because 1 lakh amount has not been mentioned in the statement.

It's not about the 1,00,000 Rupees the bank offers, a bank might offer even lesser amounts as loans. She has mortgaged her house and the bank accepts it as collateral, banks accept collateral and only then grant loans. So, II is correct.

Yes but this could be change in future and in this question criterion money is not mentioned at all.

Abc said:   10 years ago
Nothing is mentioned about the amount to be granted by bank so its a vague statement.
