- ABoth true and II explains I
- BBoth true but II does not explain I
- CI true but II false
- DI false but II true
Explanation
Both statements are true: Gandhi's fast unto death at Yerwada in September 1932 was against the Communal Award's separate electorates for the Depressed Classes, and the Poona Pact that ended the fast created a joint electorate with an enhanced number of reserved seats. Statement II describes the settlement produced by the fast in statement I, so it is its explanation. Hence both are true and II explains I.
