Statement: "It has become a necessity to computerize all the functions of our Institute to maintain the present position." - A statement of the Director of XYZ Institute.

Assumptions:

1. Unless computerized, the Institute will fall behind the race.

2. The functions of the Institute are too complex to be handled manually.

Answer: E

The Director asserts that computerization is essential to maintain the present state of affairs in future. This means that the Institute will lag behind in the absence of computerisation.
