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 - Heavy rains yesterday in City X have caused flooding in many areas including the railway station and airport.
Effect I - Railways has announced a delay in the departure of three trains scheduled to start from City X this morning.
Effect II - A number of flights were unable to land in the airport of City X last evening.
Effect III - Finance ministry has extended the date for filing tax returns by a month.
1.Only I is a possible effect
2.Both I and II are possible effects
3.Both II and III are possible effects
4.Only II is a possible effect
Correct Answer : 2
Solution :
The correct effects of the cause - heavy rains causing flooding in City X - are I and II. Effect I is logical because train delays often result from waterlogging. Effect II also fits, as bad weather can disrupt flight landings. Effect III, however, is unrelated; tax filing extensions are financial decisions, not directly linked to weather. Hence, options I and II are valid effects of the stated cause.
So, Both I and II are possible effects.
Thus, option (b) is the correct answer.
