Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

(I) The Muslim League’s demand for Pakistan was rejected by the Cabinet Mission.

(II) The Muslim League accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan as it felt that the grouping of Muslim majority Provinces in a way meant the formation of Pakistan.

विकल्प

• (II) contradicts (I).

• (II) is the reason for (I).

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Explanation:

The Cabinet Mission rejected the demand for Pakistan, making (I) true. The Muslim League still accepted the Plan because the grouping of provinces appeared to move towards Pakistan, but this does not explain the rejection, so both are independent.
