Answer

Explanation

Solution

Assumption I: "TTI is not popular in mofussil areas."
The statement mentions TTI's readership being highest in Bangalore (the metropolis), but it does not say anything about its readership in mofussil (rural or non-urban) areas. Therefore, this assumption is not necessarily implied by the statement.

Assumption II: "TTI has the popular feature of political cartoons in it."
The statement does not mention any reason for TTI's popularity in Bangalore, so the presence of political cartoons as a reason is not directly implied by the statement either.
The correct answer is (D): If either assumption I nor II is implicit.
