Statement: The management of a company has decided to run a free shuttle bus between the railway station and its office campus for its employees. Assumptions: I. A number of the company's employees travel to work by train.
II. The employees would be unwilling to pay any fare for such a shuttle service. Which of the assumptions is implicit in the statement?

  • COnly assumption I is implicit
  • DBoth I and II are implicit

Step-by-Step Solution

A shuttle from the railway station makes sense only if a fair number of employees arrive by train, so I is implicit. Offering the ride free is a choice the management is free to make as a staff benefit; it does not require believing that employees would refuse to pay, so II is not implicit.
Answer: C) Only assumption I is implicit
