In the following question, a given statement is followed by two assumptions 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.
Statements: The integrated steel plants in India no longer have to depend on imports for continuous casting refractories.
Assumption:
I. Continuous casting refractories are needed by India.
II. Continuous casting refractories are in demand.

Choose the correct option:

Options

• If only assumption I is implicit

• If on assumption II is implicit

• If neither I nor II is implicit; and

• If both I and II are implicit.

Answer 1

Both I & II are implicit.
As the statement says “The integrated steel plants in India no longer have to depend on imports for continuous castingrefractories” means that existence of these refractories is necessary and also in demand.
