Question
In the question below, two statements (I) and (II) are
given. These statements may be either independent causes or may be effects of independent causes or a common cause. One of these statements may be the effect of the other statement. Read both the statements and decide which of the following answer choices correctly depicts the relationship between these two statements. Statements: I. Many private hospitals in the city have increased their consultation charges this year. II. The government hospitals in the city continue to offer free consultation to all patients.Solution
The behaviour of private hospitals and government hospitals is based on different, independent factors: Private hospitals increase charges due to market-driven decisions, rising operational costs, or profit motives. Government hospitals offer free consultation because they are publicly funded and follow government policy. These two statements are not causes or effects of each other and do not arise from a common cause. Thus, both are independent causes → Option C.
