Question and options

Direction: Two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be effect of same cause or independent cause. These statements may be independent causes without having any relationship. Read the both statements and choose the correct answer.
Statement: I India has surpassed the value of tea exports this year over all the earlier years due to an increase in demand for quality tea in the European market
Statement: II There is an increase in demand of coffee in the domestic market during the last two years
  1. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
  2. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
  3. Both the statements I and II are independent causes
  4. Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes
Higher tea exports come from European demand for quality tea, and higher domestic coffee demand is a separate trend. Neither causes the other, and each is the result of its own separate cause. So both are effects of independent causes.
