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 new university be established in India ?
Arguments
I. No, we have not yet achieved the target of literacy.
II. No , we have to face the problems of highly educated but unemployed youth.

- if only Argument I is strong
- if only Argument II is strong
- if either I nor II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong
Correct Option: D
Both are weak. There is no relation between the establishment of universities and the achievement of the literacy target. The second argument appear illogical that due to establishment of more universities we shall have highly educated and unemployment youths, Hence, both the arguments are weak.
