Question

In the question below is given statement followed by two assumptions numbered I and II. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the statement and the following assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement. 

Statement: Herbs can safety be used for treating diseases of human beings. 

Assumption I: Herbs cannot be used for treating diseases of animals. 

Assumption II: Herbal treatment is getting popular.

Options

• If only I assumption is implicit 

• If only assumption II is implicit 

• If neither I nor II is implicit

• If both I and II are implicit

Answer 1

If only assumption II is implicit 

Explanation:

That herbs can be used to treat diseases of humans does not, in any way, mean that animal diseases cannot be treated through the use of herbs. Hence, assumption I is not implicit. Since herbs have been found to have an important use, it can be concluded that its use as a treatment is getting popular. 'If only assumption II is implicit' is correct.
