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.

Both I and II are implicit should be the answer as Railway is not there for any kind of welfaring through their Rail services.
They may provide concession but not to the needy people. They can provide this when there is less demand for the hill stations and the Railway is in a huge loss in those routes.

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.

The answer should be E.
The statement clearly mentions that the concession was provided only for the journey to hill stations. Anyways the people will be visiting the hill stations with or without the concession. The needy people would want the concession on emergency journeys rather on fun filled hill station journeys.
Statement 1: It does not make any remarks that needy people should need the concession.
Statement 2: It also does not make any comments to discourage people from refraining from travelling to hill stations.

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.
