Question
In the question below, a situation is given, followed
by statements that may or may not be possible reasons for the situation. Select the option that best describes the reason for the situation in the question. Situation: A major city in India has imposed strict water rationing, limiting household water supply to just a few hours a day. Statements: I. The city is facing one of the worst droughts in its history, with reservoirs running critically low. II. The city’s population has declined drastically, leading to surplus water in storage. III. The city’s water treatment plants are undergoing large-scale maintenance, temporarily reducing water availability.Solution
I follows — A severe drought and low reservoir levels are logical reasons for imposing water rationing. III follows — Large-scale maintenance of water treatment plants could also lead to temporary water supply restrictions. II does not follow — A population decline leading to surplus water would not explain the need for rationing water supply.
