Statement & Assumption — The organization has notified all employees that it will provide transport facilities from the nearby railway station to the office at half the cost. However, employees who already receive a traveling allowance are excluded from this concession. Which assumptions are implicit? I. Most employees will choose to travel by the office transport. II. Employees who are provided with a traveling allowance will not read such a notice.

Introduction / Context:
The notice announces a concessional transport facility from a nearby railway station to the office at half cost, excluding those who already receive a traveling allowance. We must identify which hidden assumptions must be true for issuing such a notice to make sense.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• A new or revised facility (half-cost office transport) is being offered.
• An exclusion is specified (employees with traveling allowance).
• The medium is a general notice addressed to “all employees.”

Concept / Approach:
An assumption is implicit only if the announcement would lose its force without it. Broad announcements typically do not presuppose specific uptake proportions, nor do they presume certain employees will fail to read them. The purpose is to inform everyone of eligibility and terms.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Assumption I: “Most employees will travel by office transport.” This is not required. Even if only a minority use it, a notice is still useful and proper to define terms and exclusions.Assumption II: “Those with traveling allowance will not read the notice.” This is not required. Notices are routinely addressed to all, including ineligible employees, to avoid confusion and to document policy boundaries.

Verification / Alternative check:
Organizations often publish policies irrespective of expected uptake or readership patterns. The validity of the notice does not depend on either I or II.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any option that includes I or II as necessary overstates what the notice must assume. The notice merely conveys eligibility and price.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “usefulness” of a facility with a required assumption about “majority usage,” and assuming targeted exclusions imply targeted communication.

Final Answer:
if neither Assumption I nor II is implicit
