The statement says that A implies B but not B implies A.

So, I think none is implicit.

Exactly, as its if-then clause not a only if-then so, I is not implicit.

A person may pass by cheating, hard-work or luck.

I am not sure, why it has to be A? If he is intelligent, he will pass the exam. It doesn't mean that he must be intelligent.

The statement is "If A then B" and not "Only if A, then B", which means B can be without A.
