Statement: Prakash decided in May to book railway reservations for his July journey to Mumbai.\nAssumptions:\nI. The railways open reservations two months in advance.\nII. There is more than one train to Mumbai.\nIII. A seat in the desired class will be available.

Introduction / Context:
The action—booking in May for a July trip—indicates planning aligned with reservation windows. We must test which assumptions are necessary for the decision to be meaningful.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Month of reservation: May.
• Month of travel: July.
• Destination: Mumbai.

Concept / Approach:
The key is the institutional rule about how far in advance reservations open. Other details (number of trains, certainty of availability) are not strictly required for the act of deciding to reserve now.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) If reservations open two months in advance (I), May is an appropriate time to book for July.2) Multiple trains (II) are not necessary; even a single train suffices for making a reservation decision.3) Certainty of availability (III) is not required to decide to try reserving; one may attempt booking despite uncertain availability.

Verification / Alternative check:
Even with one train and uncertain availability, deciding to book once the window opens is rational and common.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Both II and III: Adds unnecessary specifics.
• Both I and II: II is not required.
• Only III: Certainty is stronger than needed.
• Only II: Irrelevant to the timing logic.

Common Pitfalls:
Equating a prudent decision with guaranteed availability; assumptions must be minimal necessities.

Final Answer:
Only I is implicit.
