Statement: The office building needs repairing just as urgently as it needs internal as well as external painting.

Assumptions:

  1. Efficiency of people working in the office cannot be improved unless office building is repaired.
  2. Repairing and painting of office building require funds.

Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit

Yes, repairing requires money.

However, I think why it's not implicit because nothing about funds is mentioned in the statement given. Fund and money are two different things.

The fund is saved for a particular purpose while money can be cash, notes, coins etc. Therefore, Assumption II is not implicit.

They need funds to repair the building, but why is it not implicit? Please explain.

Isn't the repair work requires money? How is the second option not implicit?
