| Statement: |
| Should the admission to professional courses in India be given only on merit without any concession to any particular group of students? |
| Arguments: |
| I. Yes. This will improve the quality of the professionals as they will be able to complete the courses successfully. |
| II. No. This will keep a large number of socially and economically backward students out of the reach of the professional courses. |
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 professional jobs require quality and merit and, so the students having the required talent can turn out to be better professionals than those who join the course on concession. So, argument I holds strong. However, it is these special concessions which make the professional courses affordable for certain talented students, belonging to socially and economically weaker sections, who otherwise would remain bereft of the same. So, argument II also holds strong. Hence, the answer is [e].
