Statement: "X air-conditioner - the largest selling name with the largest range." - An advertisement.

Assumptions:

  1. X air-conditioner is the only one with wide variations.
  2. There is a demand of air-conditioners in the market.

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:
Clearly, the advertisement does not mention the word 'only' i.e. other air-conditioners may also have wide variations. So, I is not implicit. Also, the advertisement is given so that the people know about that which they demand. So, II is implicit.

Also, the statement shows the marketing tactics for x airconditioner, not the airconditioner community. So 2 also not follows.

It is true that the advertisement doesn't mention 'only' but it is mentioned as 'THE LARGEST and NOT 'ONE OF THE LARGEST''. So can we assume that the company is boasting of the wide range of varieties it has?

Thank you.
