Statement: The State government has decided to appoint four thousand primary school teachers during the next financial year. Assumptions: There are enough schools in the state to accommodate four thousand additional primary school teachers. The eligible candidates may not be interested to apply as the government may not finally appoint such a large number of primary school teachers.

Given data

• Statement: Government will appoint 4000 primary school teachers next year.
• Assumption I: There are enough schools/positions to absorb 4000 additional teachers (i.e., there is need/space).
• Assumption II: Eligible candidates may not apply because the government might not actually appoint so many.

Concept/Approach
A hiring decision presupposes requirement/utility for the posts; it does not require pessimistic speculation about candidate interest.

Step-by-step reasoning
I: If there were no positions/need, deciding to appoint would be irrational. Thus I is implicit.II: The decision itself does not rest on candidates' skepticism; that is unrelated and negative in tone. Not implicit.

Verification/Alternative
Administrative hiring plans assume utilization; doubts about applicant behavior are extraneous.

Common pitfalls

• Confusing planning assumptions (need) with conjectures about applicant psychology.

Final Answer
Only assumption I is implicit.
