    D) All are implicit

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [b] is correct. Nothing about the sources of income of the State Government is mentioned in the statement. So, I is not implicit. Since the Central Government has directed the state Governments to reduce expenditure, so II is implicit. Further since the Central Government has refused any further grant to the State Government for the next six months it is quite clear that the Governments will abide by the directive. So, III is also implicit.
