Directions (1-5): Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a ‘strong’ argument and which is a ‘weak’ argument. Give answer as:
1. Statement: Should the tuition fees in all post-graduate courses be hiked considerably?
Arguments: I. Yes. This will bring in some sense of seriousness among the students and will improve the quality.
II. No. This will force the meritorious poor students to stay away from post-graduate courses.
(a) if only argument I is strong
(b) if only argument II is strong
(c) if either I or II is strong
(d) if neither I nor II is strong
(e) if both I and II are strong

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b
Exp. A hike in fees is no means to make the students more serious in studies. So, argument I is vague. However, with the increase in fees, poor meritorious students would not be able to afford post-graduate studies. So, argument II holds.

 

2. Statement: Should India create a huge oil reserve like some Western countries to face difficult situations in future?
Arguments:
I. No. There is no need to block huge amount of foreign exchange and keep the money idle.
II. Yes. This will help India withstand shocks of sudden rise in oil prices due to unforeseen circumstances.
(a) if only argument I is strong
(b) if only argument II is strong
(c) if either I or II is strong
(d) if neither I nor II is strong
(e) if both I and II are strong

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b
Exp. Oil, being an essential commodity, our country must keep it in reserve. So, argument I is vague, while argument II holds as it provides a substantial reason for the same.

 

3. Statement: Should there be a cap on maximum number of contestants for parliamentary elections in any constituency?
Arguments:
I. Yes. This will make the parliamentary elections more meaningful as the voters can make a considered judgment for casting their vote.
II. No. In a democracy any person fulfilling the eligibility criteria can contest parliamentary elections and there should be no restrictions.
(a) if only argument I is strong
(b) if only argument II is strong
(c) if either I or II is strong
(d) if neither I nor II is strong
(e) if both I and II are strong

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e
Exp. Clearly, if there were less candidates, the voters would find it easy to make a choice. So, argument I holds. Also, every person satisfying the conditions laid down by the Constitution must be given an opportunity and should not be denied the same just to cut down the number of candidates. So, argument II also holds strong.

 

4. Statement: Should there be an upper age limit of 65 years for contesting Parliamentary/Legislative Assembly elections?
Arguments:
I. Yes. Generally, people above the age of 65 lose their dynamism and will power.
II. No. The life span is so increased that people remain physically and mentally active even upto the age of 80.
(a) if only argument I is strong
(b) if only argument II is strong
(c) if either I or II is strong
(d) if neither I nor II is strong
(e) if both I and II are strong

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d
Exp. The age of a person is no criterion for judging his mental capabilities and administrative qualities. So, none of the arguments holds strong.

 

5. Statement: Should all the drugs patented and manufactured in Western countries be first tried out on sample basis before giving licence for sale to general public in India?
Arguments:
I. Yes. Many such drugs require different doses and duration for Indian population and hence it is necessary.
II. No. This is just not feasible and hence cannot be implemented.
(a) if only argument I is strong
(b) if only argument II is strong
(c) if either I or II is strong
(d) if neither I nor II is strong
(e) if both I and II are strong

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a
Exp. Clearly, health of the citizens is an issue of major concern for the Government. So, a product like drugs, must be first studied and tested in the Indian context before giving licence for its sale. So, only argument I holds strong.
