 | Gayatri Reddy answered |
The relationship between the two statements suggests that they are not directly cause and effect of each other, but rather, they might both be effects of some common underlying causes or conditions. 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.

Explanation:
Common Cause:
- Both statements I and II are related to the issue of power crisis and load-shedding in different areas.
- The common cause here is the overall power crisis situation in the country.
Effect of Common Cause:
- Statement I mentions that rural and semi-urban areas are suffering due to load-shedding, which is a direct effect of the power crisis.
- Statement II predicts that if the Government fails to address the power crisis, urban areas will also experience extended load-shedding.
Therefore, both statements I and II are effects of the common cause, which is the power crisis in the country.

Understanding the Relationship Between Statements
To analyze the relationship between the two statements, we need to consider the sequence of events and the cause-effect dynamics.
Statement Analysis
- Statement I: Police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the unlawful gathering of a large number of people.
- Statement II: The citizens forum called a general strike in protest against the police atrocities.
Cause and Effect Relationship
- Identification of Cause:
- The police action (lathi-charge) is a direct response to the unlawful gathering, aiming to maintain order. This action can be seen as a cause.
- Identification of Effect:
- In response to the police's aggressive handling of the situation, the citizens forum organizes a general strike. This is a reaction to the police's actions, making it an effect of the lathi-charge.
Conclusion
Given this analysis, the relationship can be summarized as follows:
- Statement I (Police action) is the cause that led to Statement II (General strike) as a reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is:
(A) If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
This understanding highlights the direct impact of police actions on public sentiment and organization, illustrating the cause-effect dynamics in social interactions.

Understanding the Relationship Between Statements
To analyze the statements provided, we need to examine their nature and how they relate to each other.
Statement I: Government Action
- The Government has increased rates of petrol and diesel by 10%.
- This action is a direct decision made by the government, likely due to various economic factors.
Statement II: Oil Production Decision
- Oil-producing countries have decided to increase crude oil production by 10%.
- This decision is independent and stems from factors related to market demand, production capacity, or geopolitical considerations.
Evaluating the Statements
- Independent Causes:
- Both statements reflect separate decisions made by different entities (the government and oil-producing countries) based on distinct motivations.
- The increase in oil production (Statement II) could influence global oil prices, which may lead to the government's decision to adjust fuel prices (Statement I). However, each decision operates independently.
Conclusion
Given the nature of the decisions:
- Both statements represent distinct actions taken by different parties without one being a direct result of the other.
- Thus, they are classified as effects of independent causes, confirming that the correct answer is option D.
This highlights that while these events can influence each other, they originate from separate motivations and decisions.

- Independent Causes:
- Both statements reflect separate decisions made by different entities (the government and oil-producing countries) based on distinct motivations.
- The increase in oil production (Statement II) could influence global oil prices, which may lead to the government's decision to adjust fuel prices (Statement I). However, each decision operates independently.
Conclusion
Given the nature of the decisions:
- Both statements represent distinct actions taken by different parties without one being a direct result of the other.
- Thus, they are classified as effects of independent causes, confirming that the correct answer is option D.
This highlights that while these events can influence each other, they originate from separate motivations and decisions.
