Question

Which of the following were the results of the Industrial Revolution?

• A. Production became slow.
• B. Increase of slums in cities.
• C. Rural to urban migration.
• D. Exploitation of workers.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Exploitation of workers.

Industrial Revolution led to the establishment of factories. The machines used in these factories produced goods efficiently - that is, more quantity in less time.

With the movement of people from rural to urban areas, slums in cities increased. Those working in the factories were exploited for the owners' gains, because more production equalled more money.
