. Only assumption II is implicit.
Here, Only assumption II is implicit. Before going to the answer first of all the meaning of implicit must be clear and which is “suggested though not directly expressed”.
Above type of questions come with 6 options which are :
A. Only assumption I is implicit.
B. Only assumption II is implicit.
C. Either I or II is implicit
D. Neither I nor II is implicit
E. Both I and II are implicit
Here in above asked question answer is B option because The statement tells to 'make up for the delay' showing that no delay is to be done in any case in the job. So, Assumption I is not implicit. Since increase in number of people will make up for the delay, it means the output will increase as the more number of people join to complete the job. So, Assumption II is implicit.
