Direction: Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two argument's numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the argument is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
-
Statement:
Should agriculture in rural India be mechanized?
Arguments:
I. Yes. It would lead to higher production.
II. No. Many villagers would be left unemployed.
-
- 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 and
- if both I and II are strong.
Correct Option: A
Clearly, mechanization would speed up the work and increase the production. So, argument I is strong enough. Argument II is vague because mechanization will only eliminate wasteful employment not create unemployment.
