| Directions: Each question given below consists of a statement followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments a ?strong? argument is and which a ?weak? argument is. |
| Statement: Should there be a maximum limit for the number of ministers in the Central Government? |
| Arguments: I. No. The political party in power should have the freedom to decide the number of ministers to be appointed. |
| 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. |
A) Only argument I is strong
B) Only argument II is strong
C) Either I or II is strong
D) Neither I nor II is strong
E) Both I and II are strong
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Explanation Option [b] is correct. 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. So, 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.
