Question

Below are two statements:

**Statement I:** This year Bihar has recorded a 98% result in the Intermediate Board Examination.

**Statement II:** Transport facilities have improved in Bihar in recent years.

Choose the correct relationship between the two statements:

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Analyze Statement II: Improvement in transport facilities in Bihar can lead to better accessibility to schools and colleges, which can positively impact students' attendance and performance.

2. Analyze Statement I: A record 98% result in the Intermediate Board Examination is likely an effect of improved educational conditions, which can be influenced by better transport.

3. Since improved transport (Statement II) can be a reason for better examination results (Statement I), Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect.

4. The other options do not fit because:
   - Statement I cannot cause transport improvements.
   - The statements are not independent causes.
   - They are not effects of independent or common causes in this context.

**Answer:** (b) Statement II is the cause and Statement I is its effect.
