Question

Statement: Should all the infrastructural development projects in India be handed over to the private sector?

Arguments:
I. No. The private sector entities are hot equipped to handle such projects.
II. Yes. Such projects are handled by private sector in the developed countries.

• 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

Answer: (D)

Neither I nor II is strong

Clearly, such projects if handed over to the private sector shall be given to a competent authority. So, argument I is vague. Also, imitating a policy on the basis that it worked out successfully in other countries holds no relevance. Thus, argument II also does not hold strong.
