    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 new universities be established in India?
    Arguments: I. No. We have still not achieved the target for literacy.
    II. No. We will have to face the problem of unemployed but highly qualified people.

    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: E

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [e] is correct. Clearly, instead of improving upon higher education, increasing the literacy rate should be heeded first. So, argument I holds. Also, more number of universities will produce more degree holders with the number of jobs remaining the same, thus, increasing unemployment. So, argument II also holds strong.
