Statement: The Government has decided to levy 2 percent on the tax amount payable for funding drought relief programmes.
Assumptions:
- The Government does not have sufficient money to fund drought relief programmes.
- The amount collected by way of surcharge may be adequate to fund these drought relief programmes.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since a surcharge has been levied to fund drought relief programmes, it follows that the Government does not have sufficient money for the same. So, I is implicit. Besides, the percentage of surcharge must have been decided after studying the expected inflow in relation to amount of funds required. So, II is also implicit.

1is not implicit because there may be some other reason than insufficiency of the fund.
Like there may be some technical glitches for making the fund available.
