Statement: Of all the radio sets manufactured in India, the 'X' brand has the largest sale.
Assumptions:
- The sale of all the radio sets manufactured in India is known.
- The manufacturing of no other radio set in India is as large as 'X' brand radio.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the comparison could not be made without knowing the sale of all the radio sets. So, I is implicit. The statement mentions only that the sale is largest and nothing is mentioned about the manufacture. So, II is not implicit.

I mean if you had mentioned that the sale of 'X' had been the largest then 2nd should also be implicit we don't need actual mathematical values to compare that.

I think as it is mentioned as it has the largest sale it will obviously have the largest production.

I think its E, both I and ii implict because when you compare one product with others then you know the other product well, then you can compare. So 1 can also implicit.

You do not have to assume anything of your own, you just have to read the statement and answer accordingly, assumption is made in relevance with the statement and not of your own, you don't have to deduce anything.

No comments on Implicit 1 but,
Implicit 2 should be correct as if your manufacturing is high then only your sales will be high.

Here superlative- largest is being already used. So II should be the answer.

I thnk only I is implicit because in 1 they mention the radio sets manufactured in India and there is not mentioned about the manufacture of the x brand in a statement. So II is not implicit.

I think the answer should be neither because 1stly you cannot assume about largest sales until you know about other brands in the market.
The second statement is pure repetition. Hence, none of them are implicit.

Statement II is incorrect because it talks about manufacturing however in question the given information is about sale of radio.

Answer is D.
I- is not implicit, as all is mentioned. Moreover it is possible because of large sell of x has exposed itself to people by large sell, and is known to people. For example xerox, Dettol. Big brand but no one knows about any other sets or competitors.
II- is also not implicit it is talking about manufacturing and not selling which clearly not mentioned in the statement.
