| 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.
