Solution

The correct option is E Both I and II are strong
In the absence of such a ceiling, the companies would be involved in a mutual competition of salaries, in a bid to attract the most competent professional. So, argument I holds. Also, the prospects of increase in salary would encourage the officials to perform better in the interest of the company they serve, which would otherwise not be so if a ceiling is imposed. So, argument II also holds strong.
