Statement: "It has become a necessity to computerize all the functions of our Institute to maintain the present position." - A statement of the Director of XYZ Institute.

Assumptions:

  1. Unless computerized, the Institute will fall behind the race.
  2. The functions of the Institute are too complex to be handled manually.

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:
The Director asserts that computerization is essential to maintain the present state of affairs in future. This means that the Institute will lag behind in the absence of computerisation. This in turn implies that the functions of the Institute are too cumbersome and time-consuming and can be handled in time only through computers. So, both I and II are implicit.

Yes, it should be A only.

It should be only A as there is no mention as to the cumbersome and time-consuming tasks given in the explanation and the apparent difficulty functionality isn't present in the original statement.
