Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II)
(A) Variations due to the general tendency of the data to increase or decrease
This matches (III) Secular Variations.
The general tendency of the data to increase or decrease over a long period is the secular trend.
(B) Variations due to change in climate
This matches (I) Seasonal Variations.
Changes due to climate repeat within a year, so they are seasonal variations.
(C) Variations due to booms and depressions in the share market
This matches (IV) Cyclic Variations.
Booms and depressions recur over a number of years, so they are cyclic variations.
(D) Variations due to some unpredictable forces
This matches (II) Irregular Variations.
Changes caused by chance events that cannot be predicted (floods, strikes, wars) are irregular variations.
So the matching is (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II).
