Question

Statement: Should agriculture in rural India be mechanized?

Arguments:
I. Yes. It would lead to higher production.
II. No. Many villagers would be left unemployed.

• 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

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only argument I is strong

Clearly, mechanization would speed up the work and increase the production. So, argument I is strong enough. Argument II is vague because mechanization will only eliminate wasteful employment, not create unemployment.
