You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer. Infosys, the country’s second-largest software exporter reported slower sequential growth in revenue and profit than TCS for the June quarter (Q1). It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.

Correct Answer Only II is implicit

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. Only II is implicit.

An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof.

Assumption II can be assumed to be a perfect assumption for the said statement as it is contextually correct and is the most logical assumption based on the facts mentioned.

From the statement, it is evident that the growth of Infosys has gone down as compared to its rival TCS. From the assumptions mentioned both I and III can be eliminated.

Assumption I states independent facts which cannot be assumed on the basis of the information provided (such as margin band of 22-24% or 6-8% revenue growth).

Assumption III is more or less a rephrase of the above statement and is not an assumption, it is just a concise version of the above statement and can thus, be eliminated. Moreover, the exact information regarding ‘previous five quarters’ cannot be assumed from the above statement. Thus, it can also be eliminated.

Thus, all of the assumptions except II are irrelevant and can be rejected and the most appropriate answer choice is option 4.
