Explanation

The given answer suggests that statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. This means that the fact that the general public did not have access to information related to primary education in the past has led to the central government's decision to make all this information available to the public.

Explanation

Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. The majority of the professors signing a joint petition to the university complaining about disturbances caused by cell phone ring-tones inside the classrooms is the cause for the university authority instructing all the colleges to ban the use of mobile phones inside the classrooms. The professors' complaint likely prompted the university to take action and implement the ban.

The Government has reduced the procurement price of Rabi crops starting from last month to the next six months.

Explanation

The reduction in procurement price of Rabi crops by the Government has caused the farmers to decide against selling their crops to the Government agencies. This suggests that the decrease in price has made it unprofitable for the farmers to sell their crops to the Government. Therefore, statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.

Explanation

The statement I states that the performance of most students in the final exam of class XII in government-run schools was excellent. This could be due to various factors such as good teaching, effective study materials, or dedicated students. On the other hand, statement II mentions that many teachers from government schools left and joined private schools. This could be due to reasons like better pay, improved working conditions, or personal career growth. Therefore, both statements are independent causes and do not have a cause and effect relationship with each other.

Statements: I. Most of the steel producing companies in the country have made considerable profit during the last financial year. II.

Explanation

Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. This is because the fact that many Asian countries have been importing huge quantities of steel from India has led to most of the steel producing companies in the country making considerable profit during the last financial year. The increased demand for steel from Asian countries has created a market for Indian steel producers, resulting in higher profits for these companies.

Explanation

The explanation for the given answer is that both statements I and II are related to the issue of load shedding. Statement I states that rural and semi-urban areas have been suffering from load shedding for some time, indicating that there is already a power crisis in these areas. Statement II suggests that if the government is unable to overcome the power crisis, load shedding will be extended to urban areas as well. This implies that there is a common cause, which is the power crisis, that is affecting both rural/semi-urban areas and potentially urban areas as well. Therefore, both statements I and II are effects of the common cause of the power crisis.

Most of the trains were cancelled last week due to water-logging on the tracks.

Explanation

Both statements indicate a correlation between water levels and water-logging. The increase in water level in the water tanks supplying drinking water to the city could be due to heavy rainfall and water-logging, which in turn caused the cancellation of trains due to water-logging on the tracks. Therefore, both statements are effects of some common cause, which is likely heavy rainfall and water-logging in the city.

Explanation

The reduction in the number of people affected by water-borne diseases in City F during the rainy season could be due to various factors such as improved sanitation, awareness campaigns, or personal hygiene practices. On the other hand, the government opening four new civil hospitals in City F at the beginning of the year may be a separate initiative to improve healthcare infrastructure in the city. Therefore, both statements I and II are independent causes and are not directly related to each other.

The police authority has been unable to nab the culprits who are committing crime against women.

Explanation

The explanation for the answer "Both the statements I and II are independent causes" is that statement I suggests that there has been a growth in the incidents of atrocities against women in the city during the last year. This implies that there is an increase in the number of crimes being committed. On the other hand, statement II states that the police authority has been unable to nab the culprits who are committing crime against women. This suggests that the police's inability to catch the culprits is a separate issue and not directly related to the increase in the number of crimes. Therefore, both statements are independent causes.
