Statement: Unemployment allowance should be given to all unemployed Indian youth aged 18 or above. Assumptions: I. There exist unemployed youth who need monetary support. II. The Government has sufficient funds to provide such allowance to all unemployed youth. Choose the option that identifies which assumption(s) is/are implicit.

Introduction / Context:A proposal to pay unemployment allowance presupposes the existence of unemployed youth needing support. Budget feasibility is a separate policy question, not logically required to state the proposal’s desirability.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Target group: unemployed youth ≥ 18 years.

Concept / Approach:Assumption I is necessary to justify the measure’s relevance. Assumption II concerns implementation capacity; the proposal can still be advocated even if current funds are inadequate (tax/borrowing/reallocation could be considered), so II is not strictly implicit.

Step-by-Step Solution:I: Necessary—without unemployed youth in need, the policy is pointless.II: Not necessary—advocacy does not require existing sufficiency of funds.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:Options including II overstate what must be presumed.

Common Pitfalls:Conflating normative proposal with immediate fiscal feasibility.

Final Answer:if only Assumption I is implicit
