Statement: The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents.

Assumptions:

  1. The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation.
  2. There may be reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, the amount of compensation must have been decided keeping in mind the monetary position of the Government. So, I is implicit. However, nothing can be said about the frequency of railway accidents in future. So, II is not implicit.

The answer would be D. If the government pays for the compensation is does not mean that it has the budget for other expenses. There would not be budget "Already Prepared" for compensations - expecting for disasters to happen.

This is withdrawn immediately out of the budget but not from a prepared amount.

I think that both does not satisfy the question.

Please help me with the explanation.

Govt is compensating them as a sense of responsibility, it would be wrong to say that govt has enough fund to compensate. The answer should be D, as statement B also don't have any direct link to the statement.
