Statement: The price for safeda mango is terribly priced at Rs. 200/kg.…

Concept:

An assumption is “implicit” in a Statement-and-Assumption question only when the statement necessarily depends on it. The standard check is the negation test: negate the assumption; if the statement then becomes illogical, pointless, or self-contradictory, the assumption is implicit; if the statement still stands unaffected, it is not.

Applying the test to this statement:

1. Assumption I (other mango types are decently priced): negating it gives “other mango types are not decently priced.” The statement only talks about the safeda mango's own price and never compares it with, or makes any claim about, other mango varieties — so the statement's sense is completely unaffected by this negation. This assumption is not implicit.

2. Assumption II (Rs. 200 is a very big amount for a safeda mango): negating it gives “Rs. 200 is NOT a big amount for a safeda mango.” If that were true, describing the price as “terribly priced” would make no sense — calling a price excessively high only holds together if a large sum is actually being paid. So the statement can only make sense if this assumption is taken for granted. This assumption is implicit.

Checking each combination:

• The combination claiming only the first assumption holds fails the negation test on that assumption directly, since negating it leaves the statement unaffected.

• The combination claiming either assumption alone would work misreads the test's result — the two assumptions rest on very different footing, so only one of them actually survives negation, not both interchangeably.

• The combination claiming neither assumption holds ignores that negating the second assumption does affect the statement's sense.

Only the second assumption — that Rs. 200 is a very big amount for a safeda mango — is implicit.
