In this question, two statements I and II are given. These statements may be independent causes, or effects of independent causes, or one may be the effect of the other. Read both statements and select the correct answer.
Statement I: This year College X reduced the cut-off marks to 50 from 60 for the entrance exam.
Statement II: In the last two years, the Students Union in College X has been actively negotiating with the college administration regarding the quality of food and health and hygiene standards at the college canteen.
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Lowering the entrance cut-off from 60 to 50 relates to admissions, while the Students Union's two-year negotiation about canteen food and hygiene relates to campus welfare. There's no logical link making one cause the other, so neither is the effect of the other. They arise from separate, unrelated causes, making them effects of independent causes.
