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

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?

If at all there is a security guard at the gate of the society, there is no need of putting a notice at the gate. I think the answer is option A. How can we directly assume II ?? The presence/absence of the guard is not clearly mentioned in the statement .
