Question

Statement:Should India change its course from the economic reform process and look inward for all round economic development?

Argument:

I. No, there is a way to look backward after having started the process.
II. Yes, this will benefit India in the long run as the reform process borrowed from western countries will adversely affect our economy.

• A. If only argument I is strong
• B. If only argument II is strong
• C. If neither I nor II is strong
• D. If both I and II are strong

Answer 1

The correct option is C

If neither I nor II is strong

Clearly, any reform process may be changed, diverted or reversed at any stage, if it is to benefit the nation. Also, the idea of considering a process to be non-fruitful just because it has been borrowed from western countries seems absurd. Thus, neither I nor II holds strong.
