The statement involves those salesmen and not all salesman indicating only particular salesmen are not allowed but others are allowed thus option 1 is not implicit.

I think, it will be easy for a security guard posted at gate to convince the salespersons to not to enterb the gate by showing them the board. Therefore both assumptions are implicit.

Acc. to me answer is neither 1 nor 2 as in statement its written 'THOSE' means we not 'ALL' and no security guard is mentioned.

I agree with Amol, that there is no mention of security guard. But also, just because there is a notice put on the gate may not neccessarily keep "all the sales persons" away... some may still come despite the notice, so wouldnt D be a better answer?

The basic assumption putting a notice at the gate is to that sales persons are not allowed. Thus assumption I is the better answer.

Agreeing with what apdz said, despite of the notice, salesmen ll try to b inside the socity, nd simply a notice cnt compell then to set back and also presence of security guard is not mentioned at ol, so still I think d s the better soln to go for.

The word "those" does not clarify the sentence, as it means some particular. So, how option I works for "all". Neither II as the sales person are literate & can read the notice mentioning "those" ain't allowed.

If there is already a notice put up at the gate, why is there any question of security guards to keep away the sales man. The answer is confusing !

In-spite of all this comments how can administrator of this site stays silent. He/she should immediately the corrected answer on the site or should explain how they deduced "SECURITY GUARD" when its not at all mentioned in the statement.

ALL the sales person will not stay away. Some might find a way to trick the guard. Therefor answer A does not follow.
The guard MAY be able to stop the salesman. Or maybe he will not. How can "putting up a notice" have any impact on the guards ability to stop salesmen or not? therefor answer B does not follow.
