Statements:
I. The police has increased vigilance during late night hours.
II. Incidents of petty crimes have reduced in the late night hours.
Analyzing Cause and Effect in Statements
The question asks to determine the logical relationship between two statements concerning police actions and crime rates during late-night hours.
- Statement I indicates an increase in police vigilance during late night hours. This is an action or intervention.
- Statement II indicates a reduction in incidents of petty crimes during the same period. This is an outcome or result.
Determining the Logical Relationship
It is logical to infer that the increased police presence and heightened monitoring (Statement I) directly contributed to deterring criminal activity, thus leading to a decrease in petty crimes (Statement II).
Therefore, Statement I serves as the likely cause, and Statement II is its likely effect.
