Option 3: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Option 4: Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
Correct Answer: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Solution :
The correct option is:
(a) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Statement 1 is true. The rural-urban population division is generally more pronounced in Pakistan compared to India. Pakistan has a higher rural population percentage compared to India, and the disparity between rural and urban populations is often more significant in Pakistan.
Statement 2 is also true. Factors such as limited employment opportunities and urban migration do contribute to the rural-urban population division in Pakistan. Limited employment opportunities in rural areas can lead to a higher rate of urban migration as individuals seek better economic prospects in urban areas. This contributes to the concentration of population in urban areas and a more pronounced rural-urban divide in Pakistan.
Therefore, both statements are true, and Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1. Factors such as limited employment opportunities and urban migration contribute to the rural-urban population division in Pakistan, which is more pronounced compared to India.
