  • C. Only I and III are implicit
  • D. All are implicit
  • E. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I is implicit 

    Explanation
    Clearly, since Pramod decides to get the reservation in May for the journey in July, so I is implicit. The number of trains to Madras or the position of vacancies in different classes cannot be deduced from the given statement. So, neither II nor III is implicit.
