In the following question, two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be the effect of the same cause or independent causes. These statements may be independent causes without saving any relationship. Read both the statements in question and mark your answer as:A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;B. If statement II is the cause and statement, I is its effect;C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common causes;I. The performance of most of the students in final exam of class X in the school run by the Government was excellent.II. Many teachers of the Government schools left the school and joined private schools.
Correct answer: D. D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
- A. A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;
- B. B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
- C. C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;
- D. D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
- E. E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D. Statement I (excellent student performance) and Statement II (teachers leaving for private schools) are effects of independent causes. The students' performance could be due to various factors such as improved study methods, better resources, or motivation, none of which are directly related to the teachers leaving. Conversely, teachers leaving could be due to better opportunities or conditions in private schools, which is unrelated to the students' performance.Option A is incorrect because there is no evidence that excellent performance led to teachers leaving. Option B is incorrect because teachers leaving would not logically improve student performance. Option C is incorrect because the statements do not serve as causes themselves. Option E is incorrect because there is no single common cause identified that would result in both effects.

About Cause and Effect
Cause and effect questions examine whether one event produces another, whether both arise from a common factor, or whether their connection is only coincidental. They involve identifying preceding and resulting events, separating correlation from causation, and judging whether the stated evidence supports a direct, possible or unlikely relationship.
