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.
