The question below consists of two predictions I and II followed by a statement. You have to consider the statement and two assumptions and decide which of these predictions is implicit in the statement. Statement: The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made it mandatory for all vehicle manufacturers to provide emission and noise pollution details regarding each vehicle they produce by April 2017. Assumptions: I. Prior to April 2017, the rule was not mandatory. II. Vehicles in India are not free of (noise) pollution. Correct Answer Only assumption I is implicit.
According to the given statement
I. Prior to April 2017, the rule was not mandatory. → (implicit, as the statement says that it is mandatory from April 2017, we can safely assume it was not mandatory prior to April 2017)
II. Vehicles in India are not free of (noise) pollution. → (not implicit, there is no information given on the condition of Indian vehicles; just because information about emission and noise pollution of vehicles is asked we cannot assume that the vehicles are causing pollution of any kind)
Hence, only assumption I is implicit.
