Discussion
With reference to the consequences of the Industrial Revolution, which of the following statements is/are correct?
1. Subjugation of agricultural countries of the world
2. Increased unautomated production
3. Rise in per capita income.
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:
Answer: A
Statements 1 and 3 are correct, so the answer is 1 and 3 only.
The Industrial Revolution led industrial nations to seek raw materials and markets abroad, which drove the subjugation of agricultural countries as colonies. Over time, factory production also raised output per person, so per capita income rose in the industrialised countries.
Statement 2 is the reverse of what happened. The Industrial Revolution replaced hand production with machine production in factories, so it increased mechanised, not unautomated, production. That rules out every option that includes statement 2.
