Answer
(I) is the reason for (II)
Explanation — Statement (I) is true because the Congress won an overwhelming majority in the Constituent Assembly elections held in 1946.
Statement (II) is also true. The Muslim League kept itself out of the Government because it was unhappy with the Congress majority and feared Congress dominance.
Thus, the Congress victory in the Constituent Assembly elections was one of the reasons why the Muslim League refused to cooperate and kept itself out of the Government.
Therefore, Statement (I) is the reason for Statement (II).
