Concept
Its a major property of nature that events don't simply happen; but happen in light of the fact that there was a cause behind them. These causes are the conditions under which those events happen.
Something can be said to be a reason for another event just that it is a vital and adequate condition for that impact to happen. But before that, distinguish between the common-sense view of cause and the scientific view of cause.
Important points:
- Cause is an event which leads to a said effect and this fact is either scientifically proven or logically expected.
- Technically, cause means a collection of all necessary conditions in the presence of which the effect must take place.
- The cause that immediately precedes the effect is known as immediate cause.
- The cause that was the most important reason behind the effect is known as a principle cause.
- As the cause occurs first before the effect, see at the given statements first and by examining the tense thus, declare which event cannot be a cause
Model
Problems
Model 1: The two statements are given below:
Statement I: The costs of diesel and crude oil in the residential business sector have stayed unaltered for as far back as couple of months.
Statement II: The petrol prices in the international market have gone up essentially in the last few months.
Read both the statements carefully and answer it according to the options given below. In each of the Statements given, there may be a cause and effect between 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.
a) If I is cause then II is its effect.
b) If II is cause and I is its effect.
c) If I and II are independent causes.
d) If both I and II are effects of independent causes.
e) If both I and II are effects of some common cause.
Solution:
Given that:
I: The costs of diesel and crude oil in the residential business sector have stayed unaltered for as far back as couple of months.
II: The petrol prices in the international market have gone up essentially in the last few months.

a) If I is cause then II is its effect.
b) If II is cause and I is its effect.
