**Statement:**

**Assumptions:**

I. If a citizen of country CLINTON can sleep peacefully, he/she can then think of providing food to his/her family, ponder over education and move about freely in the country.

II. Prices of the commodities affect the common man greatly.

**Question:**

Which of the following assumptions is/are implicit in the above statement?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The statement emphasizes that the government’s first priority is to improve the law and order situation before addressing the prices of commodities.

2. Assumption I states that if citizens can sleep peacefully (implying good law and order), they can then focus on other needs like food, education, and freedom of movement. This aligns with the statement’s priority on law and order, so assumption I is implicit.

3. Assumption II suggests that prices of commodities significantly affect the common man. Since the statement places the issue of commodity prices as the next priority after law and order, it implies that this issue is important and affects the people, making assumption II implicit as well.

4. Since both assumptions are necessary for the statement to hold true, both I and II are implicit.

**Answer:** (e) Both I and II are implicit
