Q:

Banks should always check financial status before lending money to a client.

I. Checking before lending would give a true picture of the client's financial status.

II. Clients some times may not present the correct picture of their ability to repay loan amount to the bank.

A) If only assumption I is Implicit B) If only assumption II is Implicit
C) If either I or II is Implicit D) If both I and II are Implicit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) If only assumption I is Implicit

Explanation:

I is implicit in the norm prescribed in the sentence. This is why checking is being advised. Again, what would the banks check? Obviously  what the clients reveal. Banks would assume the revelation to be true.Hence II is not implicit. However, II is vague. If cross - checking is what the speaker has in mind, II would become implicit.

A) 473 & 382 B) 629 & 728
C) 629 & 847 D) 728 & 847
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 728 & 847

Explanation:

The given numbers are :

382  473  568  728  847  629

When changes are made as given in the question, numbers become as follows :

238  347  856  872  784  962

Again now, find out the difference between the numbers given in options as given below:

(1) 473 - 382  => 347 - 238 = 109

(2) 629 - 728  => 962 - 872 = 90

(3) 629 - 847  => 962 - 784 = 178

(4) 728 - 847  => 872 - 784 = 88
