In the following question, 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 saving any relationship. Read both the statements in question and mark your answer as:A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;B. If statement II is the cause and statement, I is its effect;C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common causes;I. There is sharp decline in the production of oil seeds this year.II. The Government has decided to increase the import quantum of edible oil.

  • A. A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;
  • B. B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
  • C. C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;
  • D. D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
  • E. E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;

Explanation

Statement I indicates a sharp decline in the production of oil seeds, which would logically result in an increased need for imports to meet demand, as seen in Statement II. Therefore, Statement I is the cause, and Statement II is its effect, making Option A correct. Options B, C, D, and E do not accurately capture the direct cause-and-effect relationship between the two statements.

Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
