It can be assumed that IIM does provide good management studies that is why Y advised X. Hence assumption 1 supports the argument.

If Y is advising X therefore, it can be assumed that X listens to Y. So, assumption 2 supports the argument.

Note:

When you are advising someone, you can assume that the person is willing to listen to your advise. That is, the possibility of such an assumption does exist.

Thus, in this question, the second assumption is implicit. When Y is advising X, he might be assuming that X will listen to his advice.
