Statement: The education of a student at collegiate level, not taking into account maintenance expenses, costs four hundred rupees a year. Collegiate education is thus drawing heavily upon the national resources of an impoverished community. So college education should be restricted to a brilliant few.
Assumptions:
- Our resources are very limited.
- Only a few students should be admitted to the colleges.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The use of the words 'impoverished community' in the statement makes I implicit while the phrase 'college education should be restricted to a brilliant few' makes II implicit.

In assumption 1, the use of the word 'our' is very vague. Does it really address to the poor or impoverished one?
