Question

Statement : Should there be an upper age limit of 65 years for contesting Parliamentary/Legislative Assembly elections ?
Arguments :
I. Yes. Generally, people above the age of 65 lose their dynamism and will power.
II. No. The life span is so increased that people remain physically and mentally active even up to the age of 80.

• 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

The correct option is D Neither I nor II is strong

Should there be an upper age limit of 65 years for contesting Parliamentary/Legislative Assembly elections ?

In this case, we cannot take age as a criterion because it will not be correct criteria to judge mental, physical and will power of the prospective candidate.

So, neither of agrument is correct in context of the statement.

Hence, Option D is correct.
