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:

  1. Railways should give concession only to needy persons.
  2. Railways should not encourage people to spend their holidays at hill stations.

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:
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.

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.

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.

@ Abhinav ,
I agree with you . Both the assumptions are implicit

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.
