Statement: To discipline auto drivers and provide relief to lakhs of passengers, the Transport Minister announced that strong action would be taken against drivers who do not display a magnified driver’s licence prominently on the windscreen after April 1. Assumptions I & II: I. Once implemented, the measure will make it impossible for autorickshaw drivers to fool owners in any way. II. The measure will facilitate easy identification of offenders. Select the option that correctly identifies the implicit assumption(s).

Introduction / Context:
The policy threatens action against drivers who fail to display a magnified licence. The stated goals are to discipline drivers and help passengers. We examine which assumptions are necessary to justify the announcement.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• I. The measure will render it impossible for drivers to “fool owners.”
• II. Displaying the licence prominently will make it easier to identify offenders.

Concept / Approach:
For an enforcement-oriented notice, the core assumption is that the requirement (visible licence) enables monitoring and identification, thereby supporting discipline. Sweeping claims about eliminating all wrongdoing are not required.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) The enforcement threat (“strong action”) implies authorities need a visible, checkable identifier to spot violations (II).2) The phrasing of I (“impossible…in any way”) is absolute and extends to “owners,” which is not the focus of the measure; the policy targets driver accountability to passengers/regulators. Such an absolute outcome is not necessary for the policy to make sense.3) Therefore, only II is implicit.

Verification / Alternative check:
Even if some drivers still “fool” others, the policy can still be justified because identification improves enforcement. Hence I is not necessary; II is.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Only I: too absolute and misdirected. Either I or II: only II is needed. Neither: contradicts the logic of identification-based enforcement. Both: overcommits beyond the policy’s necessary premise.

Common Pitfalls:
Assuming policies presuppose perfect compliance or elimination of all misconduct; realistic policies require only improved detectability and deterrence.

Final Answer:
Only assumption II is implicit.
