Detailed Solution

At the time of a Disaster or a natural calamity like drought, there is a widespread failure of crops. Due to such a disruption in food grain production, their supply falls adversely. As a result of the shortage of grains around the country, the prices of food grains will shoot up. Some people cannot afford to buy food when the prices are high. Thus, the first statement, "Due to the shortage of food, prices fall," is false.

If such a condition prevails for a long time, it can result in massive starvation or famine.
