  • Options

  • B. Only II is implicit
  • C. Only II and III are implicit
  • D. None is implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and III are implicit 

    Explanation
    It is mentioned that the company has taken the decision to make up for the financial deficit. So, I is implicit. The response of the buyers to the increased prices cannot be deduced from the statement. So, II is not implicit. Since the company seeks to improve its financial position by increasing the prices of its products, so III is also implicit.
