Statement: "To buy a X - T.V, contact Y - the sole agent of X-T.V." - An advertisement.

Assumptions:

  1. People generally prefer to buy T.V. through sole agent.

Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

The statement is made with assumptions that and fact that company X does not sell its product directly to the public. Hence the advertisement for the sole agent. If he is not the only seller then why would he advertise for the X brand of the television.

Hence assumption II is right.

As per solution 2nd statement should be true, because company sell X-T.V through SOLE dealer only, so there is no chance that same tv is available at other sellers, so statement 2 is correct.

In a statement, there is a word used "sole". So 1st one is implicit. People may prefer sole agent in many things that don't mean we can't use it for TV.

Since they are selling through an agent only. It means they selling directly to the customer. So, Statement II is correct.

"SOLE AGENT" is the highlight of the advertisement.

So 1 is implicit whereas 2 is not.
