Answer: (e)

From the given sentence, we can infer that it would be useful to separate the agricultural and social-sector lending from the rest and form a another entity. In the context of the sentence, the words that are suitable for the first blank are "breaking" and "hiving". Hence options A, B and C are eliminated.

For the second blank, the only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "privatized", i.e., the sentence refers to the ‘denationalization' of corporate lending part of the PSBs. The word "humanized" lends an absurd meaning to this sentence. This eliminates options D as well.

Option E is hence the correct answer.

In the context of the sentence, the only combination of words that is suitable for the first and second blank are "finance" and "relatively" respectively. All other options are incorrect either contextually or grammatically. The clue in this sentence is given by "financial world".

Option D is hence the correct answer.

Answer: (c)

The sentence says that the "brightest" talents are already employed in the business verticals of the social sector banks. Therefore, the first blank refers to the remaining less ‘capable' employees. In the context of the sentence, the words which are suitable for the first blank are "skilled", "competent" and "experienced". Hence options B and E are eliminated.

The word "inspection" and the second blank are joined by "and" and describe the "roles" of the staff. The only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "supervision". The words "future" and "futile" are irrelevant to the context of this sentence. This eliminates options A and D as well.

The first blank refers to the ‘stipulations' of the "Plastic Waste Management rules". In the context of the sentence, the words that are suitable for the first blank are "conditions" and "provisions". Hence options A, B and C are eliminated.

The use of the words "but this has not stopped" before the second blank shows that it has to be something negative. The word "authentic" has a positive tone and is unsuitable for the context of this sentence. This eliminates options D as well. The only word that makes the sentence meaningfully correct is "counterfeit" which means ‘made in exact imitation of something valuable with the intention to deceive or defraud'.

Option E is hence the correct answer.
