There isn't mentioned anything about the local candidates, whether they have to make their own accommodation or company will provide them. So, why can't the answer be neither of the statements is implicit?

Both are implicit because reason for first is implicit is correct but company is not planing for selecting local candidates as in statement they are providing accommodation for outside candidates.

Yes I support @Nitin's argument.
Here, The local candidates would be "having" some other arrangement for their stay", implies that the company will make certain other arrangements fot locals.

There's nothing said about the local candidates. So whether the local candidates make their own arrangement what's the difference? Statement ! is irrelevant according to the instructions.

Neither is implicit. It is because when said that company will provide accommodation to only outside candidate, it means that locals will have to arrange their own accommodation.

I think the answer neither of the statements is implicit.
But I won't agree with the answer since you're violating the rules of statements and assumptions.

Neither one is implicit. As there is no facts regarding local canditates and one can't assume untold facts such as (facts on local canditate).

"would be having some other arrangement " This statement is not clear.
Anyone, explain the answer clearly.

Key word "Own".
And since it is omitted for locals arrangements, the sentence is not implicit.
