    In each of the following questions, two statements

    numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be the effect of the same cause or independent causes. These statements may be independent causes without having any relationship. Statements: I. The Health Ministry has recently suspended the license of several small pharmaceutical companies. II. Many small pharmaceutical companies have been found unable to meet the newly mandated quality-control standards.
    A Statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both the statements I and II are independent causes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    If small pharmaceutical companies fail to meet the newly mandated quality-control standards, the Health Ministry would naturally take regulatory action and suspend their licenses.
    Thus, the inability to meet quality standards (II) leads to the suspension of licenses (I). So, Statement II is the cause, and Statement I is its effect.
