    Question

    Given below is a statement followed by two possible reasons numbered I and II. Read the statement carefully and decide which of the two explain(s) the event/observation/information given in the statement.
    statement:
    In India, large cities have attracted migrant population from across rural parts of the country. According to 2011 census, in India's six largest metros (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Hyderabad), approximately of the residents were migrants.
    reasons:
    I) Migration happens due to availability of better career and economic prospects in cities.
    II) Migration happens because people like travelling and exploring new cities.

    A.

    Both and II are possible reasons.

    B.

    Neither I nor II is a possible reason.

    C.

    Only I is a possible reason.

    D.

    Only II is a possible reason.

    Correct option is C

    Reason I:
    Migration happens due to availability of better career and economic prospects in cities.
    Explanation: This reason directly relates to why people move from rural to urban areas. Cities often offer more job opportunities, higher wages, and better living standards, which are strong motivations for migration.
    Conclusion: Reason I is a valid explanation for the statement.
    Reason II:
    Migration happens because people like travelling and exploring new cities.
    Explanation: While some people may enjoy traveling and exploring new places, this is not a significant factor in permanent migration. Migration typically involves moving for better living conditions, job opportunities, education, etc., rather than just exploring new cities.
    Conclusion: Reason II is not a valid explanation for the statement.
    Final Decision:
    Reason I correctly explains the migration observed in the statement.
    Reason II does not provide a strong or relevant explanation.
    Only statement I is a possible reason.
