<u>Directions :</u> In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by three conclusions. Give answer :<br><br><u>Statement :</u> "To make the company commercially viable, there is an urgent need to prune the staff strength and borrow money from the financial institutions." - Opinion of a consultant.<br><br><u>Assumptions :</u><br>I. The financial institutions lend money for such proposals.<br>II. The product of the company has a potential market.<br>III. The employees of the company are inefficient.

Correct Answer: Only I and II are implicit
Since the consultant talks of borrowing money from financial institutions, so I is implicit. That the owners wish to make the company 'commercially viable' makes II implicit. Also, it is mentioned that staff strength is to be reduced to make the company 'commercially viable'. So, III is not implicit.
