Question

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

(I) The Muslim League asked Wavell, the Viceroy, to constitute the Interim Government in 1946.

(II) The Muslim League kept itself out of the Interim Government.

Options

• (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:

Both statements are true: the Muslim League did ask Viceroy Wavell to constitute an Interim Government in 1946, and the League later kept itself out of the Interim Government. However, the second statement (that the League kept itself out) is not the reason for the first, nor does it contradict the first - they describe two related but independent facts about the League’s actions and stance.
