Question

Statement:Should Indian scientists working abroad be called back to India?

Argument:

I. Yes, they must serve the motherland first and forget about discoveries, honours, facilities and all.

II. No, we have enough talent, let them stay where they want.

• A. If only argument I is strong
• B. If either I or 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, every person must be free to work wherever he wants and no compulsion should be made to confine one to one's own country. So, argument I is vague. However, talented scientists can be of great benefit to the nation and some alternatives as special incentives or better prospects may be made available to them to retain them within their motherland. So, argument II also does not hold.
