In this question, a statement is followed by two courses of action, numbered I and II. You must assume everything in the statement to be true and on the basis of the information given in the statement, decide which course of action/s logically follows for pursuing.
Statement: There is a large increase in migration of villagers to urban areas as repeated crop failure has put them into financial problems.
Course of action:
I. The villagers should be provided with an alternate source of income in their villages which will make them stay there only.
II. To ensure their survival, the migrated villagers should be given access to all housing options in urban areas.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Only I follow.
I. The villagers should be provided with an alternate source of income in their villages which will make them stay there only.
By proving any other source of income will lead to the less migration and the farmers can think to grow crops in the next upcoming season.
II. To ensure their survival, the migrated villagers should be given access to all housing options in urban areas.
By providing access to housing options in urban areas, they would never go back to their villages, and would never like to grow crops. Hence, this is not the correct course of action.
Hence, only I follow.
