Reasoning Ability - Statement & Assumption

Statement: "If students submit assignments on time, they will get full marks."
Assumptions:
1️⃣ Timely submission affects grading positively.
2️⃣ Students want to score full marks.
Which assumption(s) is/are implicit?

AOnly 1

BBoth 1 and 2

COnly 2

DNeither 1 nor 2

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Link condition and consequence
The statement ties timely submission to receiving full marks.
Step 2: Test Assumption 1
If on-time submission leads to full marks, the marker uses submission time as a grading factor — implicit.
Step 3: Test Assumption 2
The statement addresses students aiming for full marks (a reasonable motivating assumption) — implicit.
Final Answer:
Both 1 and 2 are implicit. → Option B
Quick Check:
If neither submission timing nor desire for marks existed, the statement would be meaningless ✅
