Explanation of Solution

If there is rumor about bank failure then being a depositor, it is rational to withdraw the amount before bank fails completely that it could not repay the amount. This will be in the case when there is no deposit insurance.

In case of deposit insurance, a depositor after hearing such rumor will not withdraw the amount as insurance company will pay the amount deposited in the bank even if bank leads to failure. Therefore, in case of presence of deposit insurance, bank run situation will not occur.
