    An appeal has been made to ?introduce? written examination. This means that so far written examination was not conducted. So, I is implicit.

    Assumptions: I. The traffic is disrupted in rainy seasons only.
    Assumptions: II. Rains do not affect traffic movement.
    Assumptions: III. Adequate precautions were taken for traffic management during rainy season.

    Solution

    The statement expresses surprise at the traffic situation remaining normal even after rains. This means that rains affect traffic. So, II is not implicit.

    Solution

    Since the management has imposed a fee of Rs. 25000 for the employment of each student by the organisation, so III is implicit while I is not. Since the statement mentions that the fee is being charged to cover up the financial constraint, so II is implicit.

This also implies that foreign tourists do need such services. Hence both 81 and III are also implicit.
