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.

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.

A sign posted does not follow that the sales people will stay away, only that they are kept from entering. There are also no assurances that a security guard could keep them away.

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?

"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 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.

"Security guard" is not mentioned in the statement. If there is a security guard in the gate then why should one put up a notice on the gate? A is the right answer.

I think being a salesman, the person will not stay away from the society definitely he will try to enter. So the watchman should send him away. Please clarify!

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 !

There is nothing mentioned about the security guard so how can we jump to the conclusion that the decision has been made by the security guard.
