"There is a need for rules and regulations to ensure protection for consumers." Give two arguments in support of the statement.                                                                                                                       [Delhi 2008]

Answer:

'There is a need for rules and regulations to ensure protection for consumers' due to exploitations in the market place. Two arguments that support the statement are as follows:

(i) Adulteration: Adulteration means mixing or substituting undesirable materials in food. This causes heavy loss to the customers; they suffer from monetary loss as well as spoil their health.

(ii) False claims: Sellers make false claim about the durability and quality of their products through advertisements.
