Sanjana is facing East. So, I alone is sufficient.

From II. since Ranjan’s direction is not know, we cannot say anything about sanjana’s

4. 1; From I. 1 3 7 — birds are flying ... (1)

13 2 — birds are beautiful ... (2)

From (1) and (2), 7 — flying

So, 1 alone is sufficient.

From II. 8 3 5 — kites are flying ... (3)

3 9 — blue kites ... (4)

We cannot deduce the Code for 7.

So, II alone is not sufficient.

5. 4; I. Nothing can be assumed about the availability of tickets for all. So I is not implicit.

II. The decision may have been taken with saturation in regular trains in mind. Hence II is not implicit.

So, II is implicit.

6. 2; I. It deviates from trie statement. So, I is not implicit.

II. A notice is always served with an assumption that people will read it and abide by the given instructions. Hence, II is implicit.
