Statement : Most people who stop smoking gain weight.

Assumptions :
I. If one stops smoking, one will gain weight.
II. If one does not stop smoking, one will not gain weight.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
The statement talks of most people' and not 'all'. So, I is not necessarily true. Thus, I is not implicit. The condition, if one does not stop smoking, cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is also not implicit.
