Correct Answer: Both I and II are effects of a common cause.


Solution : Given:
Statement I: Over the last two years 22% of Company P’s manpower was laid off.
Statement II: Over the past two years Company P has sold off many of their major assets.

When a company performs poorly or incurs losses in its business, it may make decisions that affect its workforce and potentially its share price, thus both of these factors contribute to the same problem.

So, both I and II are effects of a common cause. Hence, the first option is correct.
