Two statements are given in the question, there may or may not be cause and effect relationship between the two statements.

Statement I: School education has been made free for children of poor families.

Statement II: Literacy rate among the poor is steadily growing.

Statement I is the cause and Statement II is the effect.

Statement II is the cause and Statement I is the effect.

Both the statements are independent causes.

Both the statements are independent effects.

Let’s break this down:

- Statement I: School education has been made free for children of poor families.

- That’s talking about a change in policy—targeted at poor families.

- Statement II: Literacy rate among the poor is steadily growing.

- That’s an observable effect—a trend happening among poor families.

The options:

1. Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is the effect.

- This makes sense. Making education free can directly boost literacy among the poor.

2. Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is the effect.

- Doesn’t fit. Literacy growing wouldn’t usually *cause* free education policies.

3. Both statements are independent causes.

- Not really, they’re connected.

4. Both statements are independent effects.

- That doesn’t fit either because one clearly seems to influence the other.

The right answer:

Option 1—making education free is the cause, and the growing literacy rate is the effect.
