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.

Both 1 and II should be correct II because money is always there in the family though little so problems are always present and I is correct as it is mention there "all problems".

Why is A incorrect? The statement states the cause of "all problems" in a family... assumption I. mentions "every problem" is caused by something... that something according to the statement could be "money" ... so why is A incorrect?
