Statement: Among the governments, there is a strong policy emphasis on improving living conditions in urban areas as more and more people are looking to migrate to semi-urban or rural areas. People are willing to compromise on their standard of living in order to live in a healthier/pollution free environment.

(I)Cities are economically vibrant spaces around the world and drawing a large number of rural migrants looking for better prospects. This is a sustained trend, particularly in developing countries now a day.

(II) A fresh look at urban governance is necessary as migration from rural areas picks up pace.

(III) The rate of migration has shown a consecutive decline in the last three Censuses. It was possible that this slow-down signaled the worsening conditions in urban slums, where most of the rural immigrants were concentrated.

Only statement (I) strengthen but statement (II) and (III) is the neutral statement.

Both statement (I) and statement (III) strengthen the given statement but statement (II) is neutral statement.

Both statement (I) and statement (II) are neutral statements and statement (III) strengthen the statement.

Both statement (I) and (II) weakens but statement (III) strengthen the given statement.

All statement (I), (III) and statement (II) weaken the given statement.

Solution:

For I- Statement I weaken the given statement as according to it large number of people migrating to urban areas for better job opportunities whereas the given statement suggests that people are willing to compromise on their standard of living in order to live in a healthier/pollution free environment

For II- Statement II weaken the given statement as according to it migration from the rural areas is increasing whereas according to the statement, more and more people are willing to migrate to rural/semi-urban areas.

For III- Statement III strengthens the statement is it states that there has been a decline in number of migrants but it is due to the poor condition of urban slum areas, mostly acquired by the migrants and because of the policies of the government.

NPA was 2.4% more in last two years as compared to the present one.

The steps taken by the government are not enough to revamp the banking sector.

Manufacturing sector is performing far better than the banking sector for last five years.

After the implementation of suitable expedient, the things are likely to be changed for banking sector.

The increase in NPA is the only factor responsible for the difficult time of banking industry.
