Statement: If it is easy to become an engineer, I don't want to be an engineer.
Assumptions:
- An individual aspires to be professional.
- One desires to achieve a thing which is hard earned.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, nothing is mentioned about the professional nature of the job. So, I is not implicit. The statement hints that one rejects a thing that is easy to achieve. So, II is implicit.

I think Assumption 2 follows.

I think the answer should be neither, as II is a generic statement.

But statement II is about a 'me' implying distinction whereas the assumption is 'one' implying generalisation. So shouldn't it be none of the above?

It's all about one who hates engineering. Which is not important that he desires more difficult path!

But how can we assume about "one" on the basis of "I's" opinion?

The option B is 100% right. Becoming an engineer is very easy. So the person wants something earned hard.

On the basis of I one can not assume of everyone.

This looks like a conclusion and not an assumption. And generally assumptions are not generic.

I'm of the same opinion as @Aaanchal. The statement is about me. Hence the assumption cannot be about people in general which is what 'one' implies.
