Asked in Premeth Test 49 — Enzymes

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 has been an increase in the underground water level column at all places in Lahore due to the last year's monsoon rains.II. Most of the trains were cancelled last year due to water-logging on the tracks.

Correct answer: E. E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;

  • 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

Both statements I and II describe effects that are likely due to the same underlying cause, which is the heavy monsoon rains. The increase in the underground water level (Statement I) and the cancellation of trains due to water-logging (Statement II) can both be traced back to the excessive rainfall during the monsoon season. Hence, option E is correct. Options A and B are incorrect because they assume a direct cause-effect relationship between the two statements, which is not stated or implied. Option C is incorrect as it assumes both statements have unrelated causes, which is unlikely given the context. Option D is also incorrect because the monsoon rains provide a common link between the effects mentioned in both statements.

About Enzymes

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
