Statement : Mostly people who stop smoking gain weight.

Assumptions : I. If one stops smoking one will gain weight.

II. If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.

Read the statement and assumptions and decide which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement.

Solution

Correct Option: 1

The statement says mostly people gain weight when they stop smoking. Assumption I reflects a general rule that follows from this trend and is implicit.

Assumption II makes a reverse claim not supported by the statement - not smoking behavior does not imply no weight gain.

Only I is implicit.
