Statement: The X-Airlines has decided to increase the passenger fare by 15 percent with immediate effect.

Assumptions:

  1. The demand for seats of X-Airlines may remain unchanged even after the hike of fare.
  2. Other airline companies may also hike the passenger fares.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
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.

Totally agree with you @Thembisani.

It only suggests that airlines will make profits even after its demand dips due to the increase in fare.

Option D is correct. As nothing is mentioned about the demand for seats in the paragraph and more over its not possible to predict its unchanged demand as it highly depends on fare and service provided by the other airlines.
