To determine which assumptions are implicit in the statement, let’s analyze each assumption:
Statement: Government has decided to relocate all the factories from the city with immediate effect to reduce pollution.
Assumption I: Pollution in the city is being caused only because of the factories existing there.
- This assumption is implicit because the statement suggests relocating factories as a solution to reduce pollution, implying that factories are a primary source of the pollution. However, it does not necessarily mean that factories are the only cause of pollution, so this assumption is not fully supported.
Assumption II: People may be able to manage travelling daily to the relocated factories.
- This assumption is implicit because if factories are relocated, people would need to travel to the new locations. The statement assumes that managing this change in terms of travel is feasible.
Given this analysis:
- Assumption I is not fully implicit as it assumes that factories are the only cause of pollution, which is not necessarily stated or implied.
- Assumption II is implicit as the statement implies that relocation will have practical implications for people's travel arrangements.
Thus, the answer is: 2

Understanding the Statement
The statement indicates that the government is relocating factories from the city to reduce pollution. This implies an action based on the need to address environmental concerns.
Analyzing Assumption I
- **Pollution Source**: Assumption I suggests that the pollution is solely caused by the factories in the city.
- **Implicit Nature**: The statement does not confirm that factories are the *only* source of pollution. Other factors may also contribute, such as traffic or waste. Thus, this assumption is not necessarily implicit.
Evaluating Assumption II
- **Travel Management**: Assumption II posits that people can manage the daily commute to the relocated factories.
- **Implicit Nature**: The relocation implies that factories will still operate, indicating that employees will need to travel to them. The government must have considered the logistical implications of this move, suggesting that the assumption about people's ability to manage travel is reasonable and implicit.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- **Only Assumption II is implicit** as it aligns with the government's decision to relocate factories while considering the practical aspects of employee travel.
- **Assumption I is not implicit** because it makes a definitive statement about pollution sources, which is not supported by the statement.
Thus, the correct answer is **(b)**: only Assumption II is implicit.

Look..pollution is not only caused by factories alone so, 1st assumption doesn't follows.
