School scheduling versus private tuition decision-making: Analyze Statements I and II — 'School mandates special Sunday classes for Grade X students' and 'Parents discontinue private Sunday tuitions for their wards' — to determine the precise causal relationship.

Difficulty: Easy

Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
Both the statements I and II are independent causes
Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes
Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause

Correct Answer: Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect

Explanation:

Given data

I: School schedules mandatory Sunday special classes for X Std.
II: Parents withdraw students from Sunday private tuitions.

Concept/Approach

Time conflict creates a direct behavioral response from parents.

Step-by-step evaluation

1) Mandated Sunday classes occupy the same time slot as private Sunday tuitions.2) Parents prioritize school requirement → discontinue private sessions.3) Therefore I (cause) → II (effect).

Verification

Reverse causation is implausible; parental withdrawal decisions cannot mandate school schedules.
