Given below is a statement followed by two possible reasons numbered I and II. Read the statement carefully and decide which of the two explain(s) the event/observation/information given in the statement. Statement - Even though the students of school X have ranked among the top three in board exams for the past three years, the school has never received the best school award. Reasons: I. School X has high tuition fees. II. The best school award takes into consideration other activities along with academics.
Neither I nor II is a possible reason.
Only I is a possible reason.
Only II is a possible reason.
Both I and II are possible reasons.
Only II is a possible reason.
The 'Best School' award criteria are independent of just academic rank; look for reasons that broaden the scope of evaluation.

Analyze the Statement
The statement highlights a discrepancy: High academic performance (Top 3) vs. lack of a specific reward (Best School Award). This implies that academic rank alone is not the sole criterion for the award.
Evaluate Reason I
High tuition fees relate to the financial model of a school, which is typically not a criteria for a 'Best School' award that focuses on educational excellence, sports, and overall development.
Evaluate Reason II
If an award considers 'other activities' (extra-curricular, infrastructure, student development) in addition to academics, a school might excel in one (academics) but fail to meet the overall threshold for the award.
A: Reason I is irrelevant to award criteria. B: Both are not possible as tuition fee is not a standard academic award metric. D: Both cannot be true because Reason I is logically disconnected from the award process.
C is correct because Reason II provides a logical explanation for why a school excelling in academics might still miss out on a holistic award.
In reasoning questions about 'reasons', always look for the option that directly connects to the criteria of the event described in the statement.
