49.

Statement: The two countries have signed a fragile pact, but the vital sovereignty issue remains unresolved.

Assumptions:

  1. The two countries cannot have permanent peace pact.
  2. The two countries may become hostile again after a short spell of time.

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:
From the fact that the present pact is not a lasting one, the possibility of a permanent pact cannot be ruled out. So, I is not implicit. The statement mentions that the present pact is a 'fragile' one and the vital sovereignty issue still remains unresolved. So the same issue may rise again in the future. Thus, II is implicit.
