Statement: Of all the radio sets manufactured in India, the 'X' brand has the largest sale.

Assumptions:

  1. The sale of all the radio sets manufactured in India is known.
  2. The manufacturing of no other radio set in India is as large as 'X' brand radio.

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

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.
