Statement: Money is the root cause of all the problems in a family.
Assumptions:
- Every problem is caused by something.
- There are always some problems in a family.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The statement mentions the cause of family problems and does not deal with all the problems. So, I is not implicit. Also, it is mentioned that money is the cause of family problems. But this does not mean that problems always exist in a family. So, II is also not implicit.

I is definitely implicit. Remove that assumption and you will find that the statement doesn't hold true anymore because it says all problems in a family are caused by money.

I also don't understand why A is incorrect. It's still there, like it's still true though, right? Doesn't every problem originate somewhere? Please clarify again, thanks!

If every problem has a root cause of money that means every problem has something as a root cause how can it be neither?
Anyone, explain it to me.

I think II is also implicit.
Families have money. Money is the root cause of all problems. Some families with money must have problems.
Families have money. Money is the root cause of all problems. Some families with money must have problems.

If money is root cause of all problems in a family, every family has money so every family has problems.

According to me, either option E, or C would be the answer as they both follow logical statements.

Option A and B are wrong because both have extreme terminologies-EVERY & ALWAYS.

Both I and II are not correct because both are directly not related with question.
