Given below is a cause followed by possible effects numbered I, II and III. Read the cause carefully and decide which of the three can be a/the possible effect(s). Cause: The truckers' strike entered its 6th day today in State X, as they protested against the increase in diesel prices. Effects: (I) Supply of fruits and vegetables from neighbouring states has dropped drastically in the wholesale markets in the last week across many cities in State X. (II) Demand for diesel vehicles has been steadily increasing in State X despite an increase in diesel prices. (III) The auto rickshaw union in City Z has declared an increase in the starting fares for autos for 48 hours starting tomorrow morning at 6 a.m.
Both I and II can be the possible effects
Both II and III can be the possible effects
Only I can be a possible effect
Only II can be a possible effect
Only I can be a possible effect
Analyze each statement independently: I is a direct consequence of the supply chain disruption, while II and III are unrelated or contradictory to the premise of a strike against price hikes.
Analyze each statement independently: I is a direct consequence of the supply chain disruption, while II and III are unrelated or contradictory to the premise of a strike against price hikes.
Analyze Effect I
The truckers' strike stops transportation of goods. As a result, the supply of essential commodities like fruits and vegetables from neighbouring states will inevitably drop in wholesale markets. This is a direct, logical effect.
Analyze Effect II
A strike against an increase in diesel prices would not logically lead to an increase in demand for diesel vehicles. In fact, it would likely decrease interest or have no direct correlation in the immediate short-term context of a strike.
Analyze Effect III
An auto-rickshaw union increasing fares in City Z is a local, unrelated decision that is not a direct consequence of a statewide truckers' strike unless specified, making it an unlikely 'possible effect' compared to the direct impact on logistics in I.
A: Incorrect because II is not a logical consequence of a strike against diesel prices. B: Incorrect because III is a local administrative decision unrelated to the immediate impact of the strike. D: Incorrect because II is not a valid effect of the strike.
C is correct because only I represents a direct, logical consequence of the logistical disruption caused by the truckers' strike.
In cause-effect questions, always check for direct causal links. Distinguish between events that happen 'after' the cause (chronological) and events that happen 'because' of the cause (causal).
