Statement: The concession in rail fares for the journey to hill stations has been cancelled because it is not needed for people who can spend their holidays there.
Assumptions:
- Railways should give concession only to needy persons.
- Railways should not encourage people to spend their holidays at hill stations.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement mentions that concessions should not be given to people who can afford to spend holidays in hill stations. This means they should be given only to needy persons. So, I is implicit. But, II does not follow from the statement and is not implicit.

D will be the right answer because the second statement is explicit its correct, but the first one is also explicit because
1) How will the railway department get to know whether a person is needy or not?
2) In the question needy people is not mentioned, so you can't go against the statement.
3) Why would needy people need to go on a vacation on a hill station when he is needy? Please use common sense.
So, both will be Explicit and the answer would be D.

Neither 1 or 2 is implicit. Because in the first statement the only word is used and even if fare concessions are given what about the stay, they need to spend and moreover, needy people don't go for vacations and in the second statement, railways have no right to encourage or discourage people for vacations this is out of context statement.
I hope my thought process is correct.

According to me, option E can also be right because the statement says it is not needed for people who can spend their holidays there. Therefore, it concludes that such people should not be encoraged to spend their holidays at hill stations.

I say that both are not implicit because a needy person will surely not go for a holiday. And it is not related with the statement.

II is not implicit because the statement is about encouraging poor or rich. They want to accumulate money from the people who are not poor.

Had it been that the Railways should encourage people to spend their holidays at hill stations they would have given concessions to all. It clashes with the statement which says that concessions should not be given to all but only to the needy persons. At first sight it appears to be a valid assumption.
But is this a necessary one. NO. This is not.

Concession canceled means they are not supporting the people in holidays.
