Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
Assumptions:
- Every problem is caused by something.
- There are always some problems in a family.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.

Why is A incorrect? The statement states the cause of "all problems" in a family... assumption I. mentions "every problem" is caused by something... that something according to the statement could be "money" ... so why is A incorrect?

Every problem is caused by something.
Every problem is caused by something.

Both 1 and II should be correct II because money is always there in the family though little so problems are always present and I is correct as it is mention there "all problems".

Both I and II are not correct because both are directly not related with question.

Every problem is caused by something. Boss think that I have gained less marks in your test that means I have done something wrong to write answer hence I have got less marks or problem, hence my answer I think is right one.

It is clearly stated the ALL problems have money as the root cause. Hence, it follows that all problems have something as the cause and that something is money. To say otherwise is saying money is not something.

I think the first option is right.
Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
So obviously Every problem is caused by something.
Option 2 is not related because. Problems are caused by something, that doesn't imply every family should have a problem.
So I think option 1 is right.
Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
So obviously Every problem is caused by something.
Option 2 is not related because. Problems are caused by something, that doesn't imply every family should have a problem.
So I think option 1 is right.

I think II is also implicit.
Families have money. Money is the root cause of all problems. Some families with money must have problems.
Families have money. Money is the root cause of all problems. Some families with money must have problems.

Money is the root cause of all the problems. So, the problems are caused by money. Money is definitely some'thing'. So, if problems are caused by money, they are definitely caused by something. Option 1 is definitely implied.

If money is root cause of all problems in a family, every family has money so every family has problems.
