Given below is a statement (Cause) followed by possible effects numbered I, II and III. Read the 'Cause' carefully and decide which of the three can be possible effect/s.
Cause - Many people in City X have reported receiving two electricity bills this month, instead of one.
Effect I - The Electricity Board has published the details of areas where power shutdowns are expected tomorrow in City X.
Effect II - The municipal commissioner of City X has clarified that the technical glitch which led to multiple electricity bills being generated would be resolved within 48 hours.
Effect III - Long queues were seen outside the electricity board offices in many localities.
1.Only II is a possible effect
2.Both I and II are possible effects
3.Only I is a possible effect
4.Both II and III are possible effects
Correct Answer : 4
Solution :
Effect II directly addresses the cause by explaining the technical glitch behind the double billing and assuring a fix, making it a logical consequence. Effect III also aligns with the situation, as confusion or concern over receiving two bills could lead to people rushing to the electricity board offices, causing long queues. Effect I is unrelated to billing issues, so it cannot be considered a valid effect.
So, option 4 is the correct answer.
