One Statement is given followed by two Assumptions, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true, even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given assumptions can definitely be drawn from the given statement. Indicate your answer. Statement: Pteronophobia is the fear of being tickled by feathers. Assumption 1: Feathers are irritating in nature. Assumption 2: One can try to stay away from feathers. Correct Answer Only assumption 2 is implicit​

The correct answer is option 2. Only assumption 2 is implicit.

Even though Pteronophobia is the fear of being tickled by feathers, hence, in case of having this phobia, one can try to stay away from them. Hence, assumption 2 is implicit.

But, it is not the feathers that are irritating in nature but getting tickled by them might be irritating to some people. On the other hand some people might enjoy it. Hence, we cannot assume that feathers are irritating in nature. Thus, assumption 1 is not implicit.
