Rohan walks a distance of 3 km towards north, then turns to his left and walks for 2 km. He again turns left and walks for 3 km. At this point, he turns to his left and walks for 3 km. How many kilometers is he from the starting point?

Rohan moves from A to B, Bto C, C to D and C to D
AD = BC = 2 km
Distance = AE = DE - AD = 3 - 2 = 1 km
Hence, Rohan is 1 km from his starting point.

Logical 4 - Statement and Assumptions

Statement - 
"Use of cell phones and pagers is not allowed inside the auditorium. Please switch off such devices while you are inside the auditorium." - A Notice.

Assumptions - 
I. All those who have such devices will switch them off before they take their seat in the auditorium.
II. Generally, people do not bring such devices when they come to attend functions in the auditorium.

The notice has clearly put up to make it clear that use of cell phones and pagers would create disturbance in the auditorium.

So, II is not implicit.

Hence, answer is (a) - only assumption I is implicit.
