    Statement - The railway authorities have decided to run two holiday special trains on Tuesday and Fridays from City A to City B from 19th October 2023 to 5th January 2024.

    Reasons:

    (I) Flights from City A to City C are booked to capacity, and airlines are planning to increase the number of flights operating between City A and City C from August 2023.

    (II) Many migrants from City B who work in city A, travel back to City B on trains from October to January for the festivals. the existing trains cannot accommodate this increase in passenger demand.

    A.

    Neither I nor II is a possible reason.

    B.

    Only I is a possible reason.

    C.

    Only II is a possible reason

    D.

    Both I and II are possible reasons.

    Correct option is C

    Statement: The railway authorities have decided to run two special holiday trains between City A and City B on Tuesdays and Fridays from 19th October 2023 to 5th January 2024.
    Reason I: "Flights from City A to City C are booked to capacity, and airlines are planning to increase the number of flights operating between City A and City C from August 2023."
    ·       This reason is irrelevant to the decision of running special trains between City A and City B because it refers to flights and a different city (City C).
    Therefore, Reason I does not explain the statement.
    Reason II: "Many migrants from City B who work in City A travel back to City B on trains from October to January for the festivals. The existing trains cannot accommodate this increase in passenger demand."
    ·       This reason directly addresses the situation described in the statement. The special trains are likely being run to meet the increased passenger demand due to festival-related travel between City A and City B.
    Reason II explains the statement.
    Conclusion: Only Reason II is a possible explanation for the statement.
    Final Answer: C. Only II is a possible reason.
