In this question, below is given a statement followed by two assumptions numbered । and ।।. You have to decide which assumption is implicit. Statement: If he is hardworking, he will get success. Assumptions: I. He must work hard to get success. II. He will get success. Correct Answer Only I is implicit

The logic followed is:

As the statements talk around the hard work. It can be assumed that success can be achieved through the hard work. If you want to get success you must have to do hard work.

Assumptions 1: He must work hard to get success → True (It directly follow the statement).

So, I is implicit.

Assumptions 2: He will get success → False (It cannot be assumed from the given statement because in statement it is said if you hard work then you will get success but here simply it is said he will get success).

So, II is not implicit.

Hence, the correct answer is "Only assumption I is implicit".

Additional Information 

  1. Read the statement with an approach that the assumptions would be true with regard to the statement.
  2. Do not go too logical with the statements. Analyze the given information and the assumption must only be made based on the information in the statement. Do not over-complicate it.
  3. Common assumptions can always be followed but other than that do not align the statement with General Knowledge or other facts
  4. Use the elimination method if you are unable to apprehend the answer. Read the statement and then the assumptions given in the options, you shall notice that a few of them will most definitely not follow. Eliminate them and then choosing from lesser options may prove to be more convenient
  5. One thing to make a note of is that the assumption is something that the author believes to be true so while choosing the correct option, keep this thought in mind as well. If any option contradicts the statement, then that assumption will not follow.
