II. Mohan’s plants were withered.

• A. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect
• B. Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect
• C. Both the statements are effects of independent causes
• D. Both the statements are independent causes

Hint:

In cause-effect questions, check if one event logically produces the other.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the relationship between the given statements, we need to analyze whether one statement is the cause and the other is the effect, or if they are independent of each other.

1. Statement I: Mohan did not water his plants.
2. Statement II: Mohan’s plants were withered.

Analysis:

1. When plants do not receive water, they are likely to wither due to lack of hydration and nutrients. This is a common cause-and-effect relationship in plant care.
2. Thus, the absence of watering (Statement I) can logically lead to withered plants (Statement II). Therefore, Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is the effect.

Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is:

1. Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect.
