Statement: The X-Airlines has decided to increase the passenger fare by 15 percent with immediate effect.
Assumptions:
- The demand for seats of X-Airlines may remain unchanged even after the hike of fare.
- Other airline companies may also hike the passenger fares.
Answer: Option

Clearly, such decisions are taken only after making sure that it will not affect the company's business adversely. So, I is implicit. However, the impact of this increase on other airlines cannot be ascertained. So, II is not implicit.

People are using X-airline more in comparison to the rest so X-airlines might assume that even after increase in fare people will use it.
