Given below is a cause followed by three effects numbered I, II and III. Read the cause carefully and decide which of the three can be a/the possible effect(s). Cause - A major train accident occurred at Katpadi Junction last night, where seven bogies of G.T. Express derailed and fell across the tracks. Effect I - Many trains on the Katpadi - Chennai route are running several hours late today. Effect II - Long queues were seen at the railway ticket booking counters in Bangalore. Effect III - Railways has decided to run two holiday special trains between Kolkata and Patna from October to December 2023.
Both I and II are possible effects.
Only I is a possible effect.
Both II and III are possible effects.
Only II is a possible effect.
Only I is a possible effect.
Identify immediate logical causality: An event in Katpadi must directly impact local transport or local passenger movement, not regional ticket offices or distant holiday routes.
Identify immediate logical causality: An event in Katpadi must directly impact local transport or local passenger movement, not regional ticket offices or distant holiday routes.
Analyze Effect I
A train accident at Katpadi Junction directly obstructs tracks, causing delays to trains passing through or serving the Katpadi-Chennai route. This is a direct consequence of the derailment.
Analyze Effect II
Long queues at Bangalore ticket counters are unrelated to a local accident in Katpadi. There is no logical bridge connecting a specific accident in Katpadi to booking patterns in a city as far as Bangalore.
Analyze Effect III
Special trains between Kolkata and Patna are part of routine railway administration (seasonal/holiday planning) and are independent of an isolated accident at Katpadi.
A: Incorrect because II and III are unrelated to the accident. C: Incorrect because both II and III are unrelated events. D: Incorrect because II is not a logical consequence of the accident.
B is correct because only Effect I has a direct, immediate, and logical causal link to the train accident at Katpadi Junction.
In Cause-Effect questions, always ask: 'Does the effect logically depend on the cause for its existence?' If there is no physical or operational link, reject the statement.
