Statement: Most people who stop smoking gain weight.

Assumptions:

1. If one stops smoking, one will gain weight.

2. If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight

  • A.Only assumption I is implicit
  • B.Only assumption II is implicit
  • C.Either I or II is implicit
  • D.Neither I nor II is implicit
  • E.Both I and II are implicit

Answer: D

The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'. So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit. The condition, if one does not stop smoking, cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is also not implicit.
