Question

Statement : Should there be reservation of sets and posts on communal basis?

Arguments : I. Yes, It will check most of the inter-communal biases.
II. No, Ours is a secular state.

• A. Argument I is strong
• B. 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: (B)

Argument II is strong

reservations on communal basis will increase inter-communal biases. So, argument I is vague. Also it will be against the secular policy, according to which no communal group is given preference over the others.

Hence, Option B is correct.
