Question

Statement: Should the persons below the age of $18$ years be allowed to join armed forces?
Arguments:
I. No. Persons below the age of $18$ do not attain both physical and mental maturity to shoulder such burden.
II. Yes. This will help the country develop its armed forces which will serve the country for a longer time.

• 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: (A)

Only argument I is strong

The armed forces must consist of physically strong and mentally mature individuals to take care of defence property. So, argument I holds strong. Clearly, argument II holds no relevance.
