Logical Reasoning - Cause and Effect - Discussion

I feel that the answer is option E, both the statements are about the same cause "fees".

I feel they are effects of independent causes.

Price escalation is when an item has a different price in a different market or location. There are many causes of this but largely it comes down to supply chain variations such as differing shipping costs, paid tariffs or a wide range of distribution channels.

These seem to be effects of independent causes. Am I right?

Option E should be correct. These are "effects "of independent causes.

In my opinion, as I observe in given explanation which is - "The increase in the fees of the private colleges and there being no increase in the same in Government colleges seem to be policy matters undertaken by the individual decisive boards at the two levels".

According to them, it is seeming a policy matter. By the individual board of the private medical college, the fee has been increased. It all depends on board whether they want to increase or not despite of expenses. This is a cause. And later There could be some effects from this cause: such as - protest of students etc.

And at another independent level, the board of the government medical colleges have not increased the fees despite of price escalation. After all, they are funded by the government.

Can't it be option E?

Where for a common cause (financial problem) there are two different effect?

One is increasing the fees another one is remaining as it was.

Independent causes never take place it's always the independent effects. So, the question like this can never have an answer of independent causes.

I can't recognize option c ever. In my view again these are effects. Can anybody explain how these are causes and how the answer is c?

What it means is in order to cope up the state of the art technology which is getting more advance day by day the colleges have no choice but to increase their fees but their tax burdens can be decreased if government college students can pay more for the state of the art infrastructures with the best possible faculty of the country.

And in turn these people choose to go for multinational companies in order to reach the pinnacle of what they are doing. I think its in governments best interest to raise money for which they could relax taxation on private colleges. How much time and money do you really think is required to built such institutions with such reputation?

Some innovative loan schemes where if a person gets a good job and career his some earned of money can be paid back to the government itself at very cheap loans. I think this will create more revenue for the government colleges.

Therefore, I really think that one of the causes for private colleges increasing the fees every year.

Is there any way to clearly differentiate between cause and effect?
