Statement: A sentence in the letter to the candidates called for written examination - 'You have to bear your expenses on travel etc'.
Assumptions:
- If not clarified all the candidates may claim reimbursement of expenses.
- Many organizations reimburse expenses on travel to candidates called for written examination.
Answer: Option

Clearly, not mentioning the condition may provoke all the candidates to demand their claim. So, I is implicit. The condition is mentioned because some companies do reimburse the travel expenses. So, II is also implicit.

It is clearly mentioned that people are responsible for their own travel expenses. So, 1st assumption is wrong.
For 2nd statement, there is nothing mentioned about any organisations for reimbursement in the main statement.
So, it can be true or false. There is no certainty. So, neither of them is implicit.
Am I right?

I think the correct answer should be 'A' because in the 2nd option 'many' is extreme.
If it was 'some' we would consider it.
Correct me, If I am wrong.
If it was 'some' we would consider it.

According to me, the answer would be B option only, Because the option A is out of the fact given above here.

'You have to bear your expenses on travel etc' it is clearly stated that you have to bear your own expense. None of the above is right.

But then how can assumption 2 be implicit?
As nowhere it is stated about organisations reimbursing candidates.

Bear the expense means no reimbursement so only B is right.

Not mentioning the condition may provoke ALL the candidates to demand" is not right.
But "may provoke SOME candidates" is a better implication.
