    Question

    Given below is a statement (Cause) followed by possible effects numbered I, II and III.Read the ‘Cause’ carefully and decide which of the three can be possible effect/s.
    Cause – Many people in City X have reported receiving two electricity bills this month,instead of one.
    Effect I – The Electricity Board has published the details of areas where power shutdowns are expected tomorrow in City X.
    Effect II – The municipal commissioner of City X has clarified that the technical glitch which led to multiple electricity bills being generated would be resolved within 48hours.
    Effect III – Long queues were seen outside the electricity board offices in many localities.

    A.

    Only II is a possible effect.

    B.

    Both I and II are possible effects.

    C.

    Only I is a possible effect.

    D.

    Both II and III are possible effects.

    Correct option is D

    Statement (Cause): Many people in City X have reported receiving two electricity bills this month, instead of one.​
    Let's analyze the effects:
    Effect I: The Electricity Board has published the list of power shutdown areas for tomorrow.  → Unrelated
    This is unrelated to billing errors. It's about power supply, not billing.
    So, it is not a logical effect of the given cause.
    Effect II: The municipal commissioner clarified that a technical glitch caused the billing issue and would be fixed in 48 hours. → Possible
    This is directly related to the cause. It addresses the billing problem.
    Effect III: Long queues were seen outside electricity board offices. → Possible
     This is also very likely, as people may rush to complain or clarify their bills.
    Thus, the correct option is (d) Both II and III are possible effects.
