Direction: The passage given below is followed by a question. Select the best answer from the choices given below.
In the 1980s, 85 per cent of the total workforce of Tamil Nadu was employed outside the state. This percentage has seen a steady decline ever since then and in 2010 stumbled to 30 per cent. If the facts given in these statements are correct pertaining to the changes in the Tamil Nadu's workforce between 1980 and 2010, which of the following statements will be incorrect regarding the same.
Before 1980 people in Tamil Nadu were encouraged to learn Hindi but after 1980 the government has banned the teaching of Hindi in its schools.
Tamil Nadu has been creating more and more jobs by starting more and more factories in both the private and government sector.
The others states have started adopting the strategy of giving jobs to ‘sons of the soil’ and not those coming from outside the state.
The government of Tamil Nadu has debarred its people from leaving the state to exploit employment opportunities and has fortified the state at length to strengthen it.
None of these.
The most logical inference that can be drawn from the question statement is the fact that the percentage of the workforce has been declining since the 1980s. This means that people of Tamil Nadu are finding work in Tamil Nadu itself. Option A states before the 1980s people there knew Hindi too which was banned after 1980s. This could be one of the reasons that hindered people from migrating to other cities for work as language plays a major role in deciding such things. The second option says that Tamil Nadu created more job opportunities and hence the population did not find any reason to migrate for livelihood opportunities. The third option says that since the government of the other cities started the policy of giving jobs only on the basis of the 'sons of the soil' theory, people from Tamil Nadu were discouraged from going elsewhere.Option D is bizarre and goes beyond logic and is incorrect.
