Question

Given below is a set of statements. Examine the statements and state the nature of the relationship between them: 

 I. There has been a high increase in the incidents of atrocities against women in the city during the past few months. 
II. The police authority has been unable to nab the culprits who are committing crimes against women.

• A. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
• B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
• C. Both the statements I and II are independent causes
• D. Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes
• E.

Hint:

Consider each statement in isolation and see if they are logically related or independently occurring events.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Statement I refers to the increase in atrocities, which could be the result of various factors, but it doesn't directly cause Statement II.
Statement II refers to the police's inability to catch the culprits, which could be caused by various factors like lack of resources or effective strategy, but is not directly caused by the increase in crimes.
Both events are independent causes and not directly linked to each other.
