II. The performance of Indian sports person in the last Asian games was far better than any previous games.

 

Detailed Solution for Test: Cause And Effect- 2 - Question 12

Statement I talks about the underperformance of Indian sports persons in the Olympics, and Statement II highlights their better performance in the last Asian Games.

These differing performances in two major sports events could be attributed to several common factors such as the level of competition, preparation and training of athletes, support from sports authorities, and the athletes' experience and exposure to international competitions. Therefore, it does not seem that one statement is the cause of the other; instead, they both might reflect broader issues or successes in the sports ecosystem of the country.

The correct answer choice is:

(B) If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause.
