I agree with Richa (Sun, Dec 23, 2012 09:47:53 AM). The word "Those" in the question implies that it is applicable for some Sales person.

There is no mention of a security guard in a question then how can we assume the security guard will be there to stop them?
Some salesmen are an asshole and they would try to enter in spite of notice.
Overall scenario depends on individual thinking and how can we device who is right and who is wrong!

If we assume sales would stay away from the building, why they need the notice, I is not correct assumption; II is valid only if 'security guard' is replaced with notice'. So it must be D.

Why would they need a sign or notice if the salespeople stayed away?

I Agree with @Richa.
The word "those" implies specific people only and therefore assuming "all salespersons" will stay away is not correct.

We were talking about the post. Where did the guard came from?

"At its gate THOSE sales persons" as it has been mentioned those, it shows that only certain salesman are not allowed which will be done by the guard. So II is correct.

The answer must be D. The word 'those' implies that this notice is directed toward some specific salespeople and not all. Thus, i) is not implicit. And I have absolutely no clue from where a security guard came into the picture or even if he is present, he may be able to ward off salespersons. So ii) is also not implicit. The answer to me seems to be that neither are implicit, that is D.

As II is "The security guard posted at the gate [MAY BE] able to stop the sales persons entering the society".
Concentrate on may be, So can't this one may be implicit?

Answer should be [B]. Only assumption II is implicit.
The word "those sales person" only pertains to a number of sales people. If "those" was replaced by "that" then I agree both statements are correct.
