Statement: Safety and health practices in many Indian companies are well below the international standards.

Assumptions:

  1. International standards of health and safety are ideal and unrealistic.
  2. Indian organizations do not consider safety and health management as their prime social responsibility.

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 about the safety and health practices in Indian companies being far below international standards. It is clearly a criticism of Indian organizations not paying considerable attention to these aspects. So, II is implicit. The international standards demand perfection and are, in no way, non-achievable. So, I is not implicit.

Indian companies may be making every effort to be above the international standards, yet fail. Hence they don't necessarily disregard their social responsibility for H&S management.
