Direction: In making decisions about important question, it is desirable to distinguish between a 'strong'argument and a 'weak' argument. A ' strong' argument must be both important and directly related to the question. A 'weak' argument may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspect of the question. Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the argument is 'strong' and which is 'weak'.

-
- if only Argument I is strong
- if only Argument II is strong
- if either I or II is strong
- if neither I nor II is strong
- if both I and II are strong
Correct Option: A
Argument I is strong because insurance is meant to cover the risk and promotes savings. Argument II lacks clear logic.
