Statement: "If you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper X." - A tells B.
Assumptions:
- B wants to publicise his products.
- Newspaper X has a wide circulation.
Answer: Option

The word 'If in the statement shows that B may or may not want to publicise his products. So I is not implicit. It is advised that advertisements be given in newspaper X. This means that X will help advertise better i.e., it has wider circulation. So, II is implicit.

The statement is- >"If you want to give any advertisement, give it in the newspaper X. " - A tells B.
It would be a suggestion if it was written as -> "If you want to give any advertisement, YOU CAN give it in the newspaper X". - A tells B.
To me, it is clear that B wants A to place ad in X like there is some personal interest, and also it would be a vague statement if based on this we conclude that X has wide readership,

Why should, it be assumed that Newapaper X has a wider readership. The item to be advertised may be specialised product such as say medical equipment, which would, attract greater audience in a papermused by medical fraternity. Such paper may have smaller readership but directed readership than in newspaper.
