Statement The railway authorities have decided to increase the freight charges by 10% in view of the possibility of incurring losses in the current financial year. Assumptions I. The volume of freight during the remaining period may remain same. II. The amount so obtained may set off a part or total of the estimated deficit.

Correct Answer: if only Assumption II is implicit

Explanation:

Nothing can be said about the volume of freight during the remaining period. So, Assumption I is not implicit in the statement. Secondly, it is given in the statement that fare has been increased in view of the possibility of incurring losses i.e., to meet the probable deficit. Hence, Assumption II is implicit in the statement.
