Question

I: Police had resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the unruly mob from the civic headquarters.

II: The civic administration has recently hiked the property tax of the residential buildings by about 30 percent.

• A. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
• B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect.
• C. Both the statements I and II are independent causes.
• D. Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes.
• E. Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes.

First statement is related to the dispersion of mob without stating the reason for mob.

In second statement, hiking of tax is given.

So, both the statement are not related and thus they are effects of independent causes.

Hence, Option D is correct.
