Cause and Effect Reasoning :
When we examine things, then we seek to explain why the things happened the way they did. We categorise this as cause and effect reasoning. The strong points behind any reason are known as cause and the impact of the cause is known as effect. If an action or situation (A) has occurred because of some other action or situation (B), then (B) is the cause of A. Alternatively, (A) is said to be the effect of B.
These questions require that the given statements be classified either as 'Cause" or 'Effect". In order to do this correctly, the nature of the relationships that exists between the statements needs to be properly understood and identified. As, there are many different types of relations which can exist between the pairs of statements given, the following simple example is used to illustrate the point help give a better understanding of the concept.
Example :
In both these statements, there is a causal relationship involved as the increase in sale of masks has been due to the pandemic.
