 D. if neither I nor II is strong.
 E. If both I and II are strong.
 Answer & Explanation

encourage anything that jeopardises the health of a person. Hence, (I) is a strong argument.
 Statement II is not a valid argument because a custom being followed since a long time does
not necessary make it good. Only I is strong.
2. Should the institute conduct classes in remote villages?

Arguments:
I. Yes, this will help those students who belong to villages and cannot visit urban ares for studies.
II. No, this is not an economically viable proposal, as the number of students who attend such classes
cannot contribute to break-even.
 E. If both I and II are strong.
 Answer: Option E
 Explanation:
 Statement I: The basic purpose of conducting classes is to help students. Hence, statement I
is a strong argument as it conveys this idea.
 Statement II: If the institute conducts classes with the intention of making profits, then this is a
valid point to be considered. Hence, statement II is also strong.
3. Are there any good politicians left in this world?
Arguments:
I. Yes, so many poor people are sustaining themselves and improving economically.
II. No, there is nothing in this world which is completely good or completely bad.
 E. if both I and II are strong.
Answer & Explanation
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Just because some poor people are improving economically, we cannot conclude that there are good
politicians. Any reason could be ascribed to such an improvement. Statement II is very vague and is
not giving any reasons for the argument that it proposes. Hence, both the statements are weak
arguments.
4. Are these sanctuaries, which are meant to protect the endangered animals, necessary?
Arguments:
I. Yes, these are necessary as it is our responsibility to conserve environment and to provide posterity
with a better world to live in.
II. No, these are a huge burden on our receding economy.

Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Sanctuary for endangered animals becomes necessary when it improves and betters the living
conditions of the world. But at the same time, if an economy is not able to provide basic necessities to
its people, then it cannot think of constructing sanctuaries. Therefore, the decision is based on both
the factors viz. requirement and funds supply. Hence, both I and II are strong arguments.
5. Should the teachers be stopped from beating the students?

Arguments:
I. Yes, child psychologies say that beating hinders the learning process in a child.
II. No, spare the cane and spoil the child.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Anything which hinders the learning process in a child must be controlled and, if possible, be
prohibited. The aim of teacher should be to make a child learn. According to argument I, beating
causes hindrance to learning process of a child thus defeating the ultimate goal. If also supports its
argument by referring to the findings of psychologists. Hence, I is a strong argument. Argument II
states that a child will be spoiled if it is not caned. Caning is an extreme measure, there are also other
softer methods to rectify a child. Moreover, the argument is not substantiated by any facts. Hence, II
is a weak argument.
6. Should there be an upper age limit for a person to assume the post of prime minister?
Arguments:
I. Yes, a leader must not only be wise and experienced but also be energetic and young enough to
understand the trends of the world.
II. No, older the leader, better he is, as he can lead more effectively owing to his experience.
 E. if both I and II are

Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Statement I says that the prime minister must be "young enough" for some explained reasons. This
implies that the prime minister must not be older than a certain age limit.This statement is strong.
Statement II: This says that there should not be an upper limit because older persons can perform
better because of the experience gained. This is also strong.
7. Should Simons, a hardware company, enter the software industry?

Arguments:
I. Yes, if there is an indigenous software development wing, the Research and Development of
hardware would be more effective.
II. No, software industry is in recession.

 E. if both I and II
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Statement I: This statement is talking about a software wing for indigenious purposes [to support R
and D], whereas the question is about entering the industry. This statement is irrelevant and hence
the argument is weak.
Statement II: This is an important point to be considered before entering any industry.
8. It is wise on the part of the government to disinvest from PSUs?
Arguments:
I. Yes, overheads of PSUs are increasing making the total cost of production higher and higher.
II. No, the fundamental purpose of PSUs is to provide employment to the people.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Statement I says that total cost is increasing. But this does not mention whether production is also
correspondingly increasing or not. If production is also increasing, then there would not be any
problem. Hence, this statement is weak.
Statement II: We do not know whether the employees would be removed or not. It is likely that the
employment is not disturbed. Hence this is also a weak argument.
9. Should the manufacturing of leather products be prohibited?
Arguments:
I. Yes, killing animals for any reason other than survivals is making the environment dangerous.
II. NO, leather products are the biggest foreign exchange earners.

Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Statement I: There are two points to be considered.
(a) Whether clothing is for survival or not?
(b) Can we use the leather of those animals which are killed for food?
Because statement I is not explaining the answers to the above questions. It is considered to be a
weak argument.
Statement II: It is most likely that the reason behind the proposal is more related to morals and
feelings rather than money. Foreign exchange cannot be a valid argument in this context. Hence, both
are weak arguments.
10. Should Yoga be introduced as a part of the curriculum by schools?

Arguments:
I. Yes, this will help students improve their mental ability.
II. No, this will not help students improve studentship qualities but will burden them with extra school-
hours.

Explanation:
Both the statements, if true, are valid and strong arguments.
11. Should the director with political influence be preferred to the director with vast experience for the
post of managing director?
Arguments:
I. Yes, now a days, business becomes successful by exercising influence rather than using
strategies.
II. No, strategies developed by an experienced businessman makes a business definitely successful.

Answer: Option B
Explanation:
"Influence" may be interpreted in more than one way. Statement I says that "influences" is better than
"strategies" but it is not referring directly to "political influence" which is what is given in the passage.
Hence, this is a weak argument. "Experience" is to be constructed in only one way, that is experience
in developing strategies which is a part of the job of a director. Hence this is a strong argument.
12. Should children be allowed to use internet in internet kiosks.
Arguments:
I. Yes, all the internet kiosks are using filter-software's, which do not allow adult software to be
downloaded.
II. No, internet is a communication medium, which transmits information and does not distinguish
between a child and a grown-up.

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
One important reason to stop children from using kiosks is audit material available on the net. Hence,
statement I is a strong argument. Statement II gives an irrelevant reason as its argument and is very
weak.

Arguments:
I. Yes, it is not possible to supervise an organization as big as a rail-road by any private company or
person.

argument.

II. No, valuable, confidential government information would be put at stake.


Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Ineffectiveness of the existing players is an important point to be considered while examining new proposals.
Hence, statement I is a strong argument. If true, even statement II which says that national security could be put
in jeopardy, would provide a valid and strong argument against foreign media networks being allowed in India.
15. Should the neighbouring country be given free food grain supply?
Arguments:
I. Yes, the country is severely affected due to a series of natural calamities.
II. No, this country has always been our enemy.
 E. if both I and II are strong

Answer: Option A
Explanation:
"Free food grain supply" implies that the neighbouring country is in trouble. Statement I explains the troubles
and is a strong argument. The fact that the other country is an enemy does not stop us from helping them as we
have already understood that it is in trouble. Therefore statement II is a weak statement.
16. Should concrete roads be built all over the country instead of bitumen roads?
Arguments:
I. Yes, as concrete roads lasts 10 times longer than bitumen roads, saves 20% in terms of fuel burnt
by vehicles and is cheaper to lay than bitumen roads.
II. No, bitumen is 3 times cheaper, saves 15% of fuel burnt by vehicles and is half as costly to lay than
the concrete roads.

Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Statement I highlights the advantages of using concrete vis-a-vis bitumen and from if we know that
concrete is supreme in every aspect to bitumen and hence it should be used to builds roads. Hence, I
is strong.
Statement II gives a similar arguments as in the above case but favouring bitumen. Hence, II is also
strong.
However, both I and II contradict each other and hence they cannot both be strong at the same time.
Hence, either I or II is strong but not both.

Arguments:
I. Yes, this is where corruption plays a major role and it has become evident that this can never be
eliminated.
II. No, the integrity of a person can best be judged only through personal interaction.

Answer: Option E
Explanation:
Statement I is pessimistic in nature because it says that corruption can never be eliminated, but we
cannot check the validity of the statement and we have to take this statement to be true, in which
case it is to be admitted that statement I is a strong argument. Statement II is a very strong argument
because a person's integrity is a major consideration for giving him or her a job. Both the arguments
are strong.
