Given below is a statement followed by two assumption numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the assumptions is/are implicit in the statement. Statement: The human body produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Assumption I: The human body will have Vitamin D even if it is not consumed via food. Assumption II: A large portion of the global population suffers from Vitamin D deficiency. Correct Answer Only assumption I is implicit

The statement says that human body can produce Vitamin D on its own with the help of sun exposure.

Therefore, it can be safely assumed that human body does not have to depend on food for its required intake of Vitamin D.

Thus, assumption I is implicit.

However, the statement does not discuss the deficiency of Vitamin D of anyone.

Therefore, assumption II is not implicit.

Hence, only assumption I is implicit.
