Assumptions :

A.
Only assumption I is implicit |
B.
Only assumption II is implicit |
C.
Either I or II is implicit |
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit |
E.
Both I and II are implicit |
Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Nothing about the availability of pencils is mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Also, in the statement, the staff has been instructed to provide pencils with each invigilator. This means that despite being instructed, all the candidates might not bring the pencil. So, II is also not implicit.
