Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Sentence Elimination:

The option to be eliminated is A, which talks of the effect of NPA accumulation – a plunge in industrial credit growth rate. None of the other sentences relate to this.

B is slightly tricky to place right away, so let's look at C and D.

C states that NPAs have arisen in the Indian banking system due to reasons beyond the control of public sector banks. So what are the reasons for this problem? D provides the answers. So, D follows C.

Now, according to B, there are cases of bad loans where the repayment problems have been caused by "diversion of funds". Clearly, B relates to the idea in C and D, as it talks of why loans turn bad. B concedes that some bad loans are caused by diversion of funds. D, on the other hand, states the reasons for the bulk of the problem. So, D follows B.
