Q.

Should all students passing out from the government run colleges and desirous of settling aboard be asked to pay back the cost of their education to the government? 

Arguments:

I. Yes, such students who study on the resources of the exchequer should be discouraged to leave the country.

II. No, every citizen has the right to select their place of further study or work and therefore such a condition is unjustified.
Detailed Solution for Test: Strong And Weak Arguments - Question 12

 d) If both I and II are "strong".

Explanation:

  • Argument I is strong because it presents a practical approach to prevent brain drain, which can be a significant issue for countries investing heavily in education through public resources. This argument implies that students educated at the expense of the government should ideally contribute back to the country, especially if they choose to settle abroad.

  • Argument II is also strong because it highlights the importance of personal freedom. It acknowledges that citizens should have the right to make decisions regarding their career and place of residence without being financially penalized, making such a repayment condition potentially restrictive.

Both arguments present valid, strong points from different perspectives — one focusing on the country's interest in retaining talent and resources, and the other on upholding individual rights. Thus, (d) If both I and II are "strong" is the correct answer.

Statement: Should a lot of money be spent on promoting movies?

Arguments:
A. Yes. It is an essential component of attracting more audience.
B. No. it only leads to wastage of resources.
Detailed Solution for Test: Strong And Weak Arguments - Question 13

The benefit of producing a movie lies in the fact that the film earns money along with creative appreciation. These two things are only possible if the viewers watch these movies. The best means to attract viewers is through promotions where the movies are officially introduced allowing the viewers to analyze whether a particular movie is worth meeting their expectations. Hence, argument A strongly justifies the given statement. Argument B which talks about the wastage of money through promotions is quite weak because promotions are investments so that the gain at the end can be better. It is no way can it be considered as ‘only’ wastage of money. Hence, 1 is the correct answer.
