Correct Answer: Both I and II are effects of independent causes
Solution : Given: I. Since the past three years, State M has reported a sharp and substantial decline in the state’s agricultural produce. II. In the last five years, there has been an increase in the overall average Rainfall by 6% in State M bringing respite to the farmers.
The first statement is not the cause or effect of the second as the overall increase in the average rainfall brought respite to the farmers. Secondly, a decrease in agricultural produce will never bring respite to the farmers.
Thus, both I and II are effects of independent causes. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
