Explanation:

- Option 1: Courts can decide on a joint trial if there is a common question of law or fact in both proceedings, meaning both cases involve similar issues that overlap.

- Option 2: A joint trial is possible if the claim for relief is based on the same transaction. This indicates that the cases are interconnected by the same event.

- Option 3: A related idea is when the relief sought arises from the same series of transactions. This means the cases are part of the same sequence of events.

- Option 4: All the above reasons justify a joint trial as they indicate interconnected issues, either through facts, actions, or series of transactions.

Your Answer: Option 4 - all the above.
