- Assumption I: This is not implicit. The increase in air traffic does not necessarily indicate that air travel has become a status symbol. The statement focuses on the rise in traffic, which could be due to many factors unrelated to status.
- Assumption II: This is implicit. The increase in air traffic likely suggests that more people can afford air travel, which is a reasonable assumption given the statement's emphasis on the remarkable growth of air traffic in recent years.
Thus, the correct answer is B: Only Assumption II is implicit.

Understanding the Statement
The statement indicates a significant rise in air traffic in India over recent years. This suggests a growing trend in air travel, which may be due to various factors.
Analyzing the Assumptions
- Assumption I: "Travelling by air has become a status symbol now."
This assumption implies that air travel is seen as a luxury or a sign of prestige. While air traffic may have increased, the statement does not directly support the idea that air travel is now a status symbol. The rise could be due to other factors such as convenience or necessity rather than a desire to display wealth.
- Assumption II: "Large number of people are able to afford air travel now."
This assumption is more closely aligned with the statement. An increase in air traffic suggests that more people are choosing to fly, which can be interpreted as a result of increased affordability. If a larger segment of the population can afford air travel, it logically follows that air traffic would rise.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis:
- Assumption I lacks direct support from the statement, as it does not necessarily imply a status symbol.
- Assumption II is implicit, as the increase in air traffic is likely tied to more people being able to afford it.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: "if only Assumption II is implicit."
