Correct Answer Neither I, II nor III is implicit

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. Neither I, II nor III is implicit.

An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof. The given statement is about the 650 branches for India Post Payments Bank established by the government to facilitate financial inclusion. From the assumptions mentioned above, none of them is implicit. (I) seems more of a conclusion for the above sentence and cannot be assumed to be a suitable assumption. (II) can also be rejected because it is just a rephrase of the context mentioned in the given statement. (III) can also be rejected because it is not an assumption. It continues the idea further thereby, does not acts as an assumption regarding the initiative taken by the government. Thus, all of the assumptions mentioned are irrelevant and can be rejected.
