Statement: Cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor are increasing in rural areas.
Assumptions:
- Percentage of people consuming liquor is more in rural areas.
- There are many unauthorized spurious liquor shops in the rural areas.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement talks of number of cases of food poisoning due to consumption of liquor and not of the number of cases consuming liquor. So, I is not implicit. Besides, the statement indicates that people in rural areas are getting spurious or low-grade liquor and no check is being kept on shops selling liquor there. So, II is implicit.

Since cases of food poisoning are more in rural areas due to liquor as stated in the statement then it would directly mean that rural areas consume more liquor and hence assumption 1 is implicit.

Neither of them. The percentage is increasing in rural areas and no mention of whether there are too many in rural areas consuming liquor. Also, it's not necessary for the liquor to be only spurious to cause food poisoning. It is also caused by poor quality or it likely makes people feel sick after drinking.

Statement 1 says about the quantity, The people and their consumption. Assumption 1 will not be implicit.
Now see the assumption 2. Can you assume that Assumption 2 can be the reason for the statement? If yes, then it is Implicit.
These are statements and assumptions. Nothing is going to be certain. All are assumptions, we have to assume.
Now see the assumption 2. Can you assume that Assumption 2 can be the reason for the statement? If yes, then it is Implicit.
