In the following question, a statement is given followed by three assumptions numbered I, II and III. Consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit.
Statement :

II. People take careful note of warning.
III. Non-smoking promotes health.
Statement :
“Smoking is injurious to health”-a warning printed on the cigarette packets.
Assumptions :
I. People read printed matter on the cigarette packet.
II. People take careful note of warning.
III. Non-smoking promotes health.
- Only I is implicit
- Only I and II are implicit
- Only II is implicit
- All are implicit
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
To determine which assumptions are implicit from the statement "Smoking is injurious to health" printed on cigarette packets, analyze each assumption individually:
- Assumption I: "People read printed matter on the cigarette packet."
This assumption is not necessarily implicit. The presence of a warning does not guarantee that people will read it. - Assumption II: "People take careful note of warning."
This is implicit because the warning intends to change behavior by indicating the harmful effects, presuming that it will be noted by those who read it. - Assumption III: "Non-smoking promotes health."
This assumption is not directly connected to the warning. The statement focuses on the harmfulness of smoking, not the benefits of non-smoking.
Thus, the only valid implicit assumption is that people will take note of the warning. Therefore, the correct option is "Only II is implicit".
