Statement: The government has decided to pay compensation to the tune of Rs. 1 lakh to the family members of those who are killed in railway accidents. Assumptions: The government has enough funds to meet the expenses due to compensation. There may be reduction in incidents of railway accidents in near future.

Given data

• Statement: Govt will pay Rs. 1 lakh compensation to families of those killed in railway accidents.
• Assumption I: Government has enough funds to meet the compensation expense.
• Assumption II: Incidents of railway accidents may reduce in the near future.

Concept/Approach

Implementing a compensation policy presumes financial capability; it does not presuppose safety improvements.

Step-by-step reasoning
Announcing compensation implies the state can fund it ⇒ I is assumed.Compensation is relief, not a deterrence/safety policy ⇒ II is not required.

Verification/Alternative

The policy could be enacted even if accidents stayed the same; it would still require funds.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing relief measures with preventive measures.

Final Answer
Only assumption I is implicit.
