Statement: Is paying ransom or agreeing to the conditions of kidnappers of political figures, a proper course of action?

Arguments: 

(I) Yes. The victims must be saved at all cost.

(II) No. It encourage the kidnappers to continue their sinister activities.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 1

Both are arguments are strong enough. The conditions have to be agreed to, in order to save the life of victims, though actually they ought not to be agreed to, as they encourage the sinister activities of the kidnappers.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 2

For the all - round progress of the nation, all the students, especially the talented and intelligent ones,must avail of higher education, even if the government has to pay for it. So, only argument II holds.

Statement: Should the vehicles older than 15 years be rejected in metros in India?

Arguments: 

(I) Yes. this is a significant step to lower down the pollution level in metros.

(II) No. It will be very difficult for vehicle owners to shift to other parts in country because they will not get suitable job for their very existence.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 3

Clearly, 15 year old vehicles are not Euro - complaint and hence cause much more pollution then the recent ones. So, argument I holds. Argument II is vague since owners of these vehicles need to shift themselves. They might sell of their vehicles and buy new ones - a small price which every citizen can afford for a healthy environment.

MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 4
Save

In making decisions about important questions it is desirable that a candidate is able to distinguish between 'strong' and 'weak' arguments so far as they relate to the questions.

(II) No. this will pause a threat to the national security of our country as multinationals will enter into the fray.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 4

Privatization would no doubt lead to better services. But saying that this is the 'only way' is wrong. So, argument I does not hold. Argument II also seems to be vague.

MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 5

In making decisions about important questions it is desirable that a candidate is able to distinguish between 'strong' and 'weak' arguments so far as they relate to the questions.

Arguments: 

(I) No.This is not just possible as we do not have the technical knowhow.

(II) Yes. this will greatly help the entire country by effectively channeling the excess water to the areas having shortage.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 5

A single network of all the rivers in the country would surely enable a good distribution of water to all areas. So, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to the nation cannot be hindered owing to lack of know how. Ways can be devised to build up such a network. So, argument I is vague.

(II) Yes. This will substantially reduce the risk of giving birth to children with serious ailment.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 6

Clearly, such a step would help to prevent the growth of diseases like AIDS. So, only argument II is strong.

(II) No. The local manufacturers will not be able to compete with the foreign manufacturers who are technologically far superior.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 7

Abolishing the import duty on all goods shall reduce the cost of imported goods and adversely affect the sale of domestic products, thus giving a setback to the Indian electronic industry . So, argument II holds strong. Argument I does not provide a convincing reason.

(II) Yes. The number of ministers should be restricted to a certain percentage of the total number of seats in the parliament to avoid unnecessary expenditure.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 8

Clearly, there should be some norms regarding the number of ministers in the Government as more number of ministers would unnecessarily add to the Government expenditure. o, argument II holds strong. Also, giving liberty to the party in power could promote extension of unreasonable favour to some people at the cost of government funds. So, argument I does not hold.

MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 9

(I) No. Where will the people residing in such houses live?

(II) Yes. This will give a clear message to general public and they will refrain from constructing unauthorized buildings.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 9

The demolition of unauthorized building would teach a lesson to the unscrupulous builders and also serve as a warning for the citizens not to indulge in such activities in the future. This is essential, as unauthorized constructions impose undue burden on the city's infrastructure. So, only argument II holds strong.

Arguments: 

(I) Yes. This is an important step to generate employment?

(II) No. This will affect the quality of education due to lack of uniformity in syllabus.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 10

Clearly, colleges, if given a free hand, would to through individual efforts come up with fresh, competent courses to draw in more students. This would open up new avenues for employment. So, argument I holds strong. In the light of this, argument II appears to be vague.

MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 11

(II) No. This will severely affect acquiring knowledge for want of good text books in vernacular medium.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 11

Teaching in vernacular medium would surely make it easy for students to grasp. But the use of 'only' in argument I makes it invalid. Also, teaching in international language would open up more avenues for students - in procuring books and study material, in going abroad for studies as well as taking up jobs which require interaction with people of different nationalities. So, argument II holds strong.

(II) No. Our generous behaviour and goodwill will be considered as our weakness.
Detailed Solution for MCQ: Arguments - 1 - Question 12

Clearly, a good behaviour may at some point of tome lead to mutual discussions and peaceful settlement of issues in the long run. So, argument I holds strong. However, such a behaviour may be mistaken for our weakness and it would be difficult to continue with it if the other country doesn't stop its sinister activities. Hence, II also holds.
