Assumptions : I. The convenience of the city bus company is much more important than the needs of the consumers. II. The city bus company is indifferent to the aspirations of the residents of Sant Colony.

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is implicit.

The statement is an appeal from the residents of Ram Nagar to the city bus company to extend the city bus route from Ram Nagar to Sant Colony. The residents of Ram Nagar believe that this would be convenient for them. However, the city bus company may not agree to extend the route, for a variety of reasons.

Assumption I is that the convenience of the city bus company is much more important than the needs of the consumers. This assumption is not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement only says that the residents of Ram Nagar believe that extending the route would be convenient for them. It does not say anything about the city bus company’s priorities.

Assumption II is that the city bus company is indifferent to the aspirations of the residents of Sant Colony. This assumption is also not necessarily implicit in the statement. The statement only says that the residents of Ram Nagar are appealing to the city bus company to extend the route. It does not say anything about the city bus company’s attitude towards the residents of Sant Colony.

Therefore, either assumption I or assumption II could be implicit in the statement, but it is not possible to say for sure which one.
