Assumption II: A large portion of the global population suffers from Vitamin D deficiency.

A
Both I and II are implicit

B
Only assumption II is implicit

C
Neither I nor II is implicit

D
Only assumption I is implicit

Solution

The statement says that human body can produce Vitamin D on its own with the help of sun exposure.

Therefore, it can be safely assumed that human body does not have to depend on food for its required intake of Vitamin D.

Thus, assumption I is not implicit.

However, the statement does not discuss the deficiency of Vitamin D of anyone.

Therefore, assumption II is implicit.

So, Only argument I is strong.
Question 8
1 / -0.25

Camp J is 20 km south of camp K. Camp L is 45 km north of camp M. Camp N is 10 km south of camp O. Camp K is 15 km west of camp L. Camp M is 40 km east of camp N. Camp O is 20 km east of camp P. What is the shortest distance between the camps J and M?

A
√850

B
√750

C
√625

D
√800

Solution

Drawing the figure according to the given information:

Shortest distance between camp J and camp M = JM

Assume a point X on LM such that JX is parallel to KL and JX = KL

Triangle JXM is a right angle triangle.

Applying Pythagoras theorem-

(Hypotenuse)² = (Base)² + (Perpendicular)²

(JM)² = (JX)² + (XM)²

Now, JX = KL = 15 km

And XM = LM - LX = 45 km - 20 km = 25 km

So, (JM)² = 15² + 25²

(JM)² = 225 + 625 = 850

JM = √850

So, √850 is the correct answer.
