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 48% 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.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Only I is a possible reason.

Let's analyze the given statement and reasons:

  • The statement suggests that large cities attract migrants because of better career and economic opportunities. This aligns with Reason I, which explains why migration happens.
  • Reason II suggests that migration happens due to people's interest in travelling and exploring cities. This reason, while plausible, is not a sufficient explanation for such a large percentage of migrants as stated in the census.

Thus, only Reason I is a valid explanation. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.
