Explanation of Solution

Answer and explanation

Problems occur when an individual finds obstacles between his/her current condition and a goal. This disparity becomes a problem when a person cannot instantly find a way out of it.

In psychology, a problem is described as a situation wherein one is required to accomplish a goal and the resolution is not clear. Consequently, a person finds it difficult to create steps to achieve the target goal. It is after the recognization of the source of the problem that it can be solved effectively.
