Direction: In making decision about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'Strong' arguments and 'Weak' arguments. 'Strong' arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. 'Weak' arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'Strong' argument and which is a 'Weak' argument ?

Statement
Should the sale of all the toys made in china be banned in India?
Arguments
I. Yes, these are very cheap and hence, will put the local toy manufactured out of the business.
II. No Indian toys are of much better quality and their sale will be affected.
-
- if only Argument I is strong
- if only Argument II is strong
- if either I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: C
Both are strong but both cannot be true at the same time. The sale will either be affected (as I says) or not be affected (as II says). Hence, either is strong.
