Statement–Assumption (Tourism Promotion in Jammu & Kashmir): Statement: “The Government is making efforts to boost tourism in Jammu and Kashmir.” Assumptions: I) Tourism in Jammu & Kashmir has been unsatisfactory or declining in recent years and needs a boost. II) Special concessions (e.g., discounted railway fares) have already been announced.

Introduction / Context:
Policy statements like “making efforts to boost X” typically presuppose that X is not at the desired level and thus warrants intervention. We must separate that necessity from any particular tactic (such as fare discounts), which may or may not be in place.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Given statement: Government efforts to boost tourism in J&K.
• Assumption I: Current tourism levels are inadequate or declining enough to merit boosting.
• Assumption II: A specific measure—railfare discounts—has been announced.

Concept / Approach:
Negation test again: If tourism were already fully satisfactory, the phrase “making efforts to boost” would be odd or redundant, so I is required. However, the statement does not specify which measures are being used; therefore II is not necessary—many other instruments (marketing campaigns, safety measures, festival circuits, air connectivity) could be deployed.

Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Test I: Deny inadequacy—tourism is already optimal. Then “making efforts to boost” becomes purposeless; I is necessary.2) Test II: Even if no rail discounts exist, the government can still be making efforts via other channels; II is not necessary.

Verification / Alternative check:
A government can intend to “boost” a sector for many reasons: seasonality, post-disruption recovery, diversification, or regional development. None requires any particular pre-announced discount scheme.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
“Only II” falsely binds the statement to a single tactic. “Both/Either” overstate necessity. “Neither” ignores the basic presupposition behind “boost.”

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing a general policy intention (boost tourism) with committing to a specific instrument (fare cuts).

Final Answer:
Only Assumption I is implicit.
