Direction: In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between ''Strong'' arguments and ''Weak'' arguments insofar as they relate to the question. ''Strong'' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. ''Weak'' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.

Statement:
Is using Gandhi (father of the Indian nation) as a brand an insult to him?
Arguments:
I. No, if we name a road, park, street, stadium etc using the name of Gandhi, why using his name as a brand will be an insult to him?
II. Yes, it is against the National Emblems Act and any contract entered into under the Indian Contract Act which violates any Indian low is void ab initio.

- if only argument I is strong
- if only argument II is strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: B
II is strong because it tells why the move is illegal. I is weak because the given analogy is not appropriate. Nor is it convincing.
