Directions (12-14): In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between “Strong” arguments and “Weak” arguments in so far as they relate to the question. “Strong” arguments are those which are both important and directly related to the question. “Weak” arguments are those which are of minor importance and also may not be directly related to the question or may be related to a trivial aspect of the question.

Instructions: Each question below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a strong argument and which is a weak argument. Give answer

Q12.Statement: Should Former Indian players, who have played for India on International level, be allowed to work as coach for the team of other countries?

Arguments:

I. Yes, that experience which does not harm one’s nation must be used to benefit others.

II. No, this will put the prestige of the country in danger because these coaches will reveal our team’s weaknesses to other teams.

If only argument I is strong.

If only argument II is strong.

If either I or II is strong.

If neither I nor II is strong ; and

If both I and II are strong.

Solution:

I is strong because it fosters sportsman spirit. II is a weak argument because the weakness of a team is known not only to its former players.

Q13.Statement: Should the Indian government launch community-based programme with focus on the mother’s care?

Arguments:

I. Yes, the mother plays a big role in child’s good health and if the programme is community-based it will have immense impact on the poor nutritional condition of the child in India

II. No, it will harm the secular status of the country.

If only argument I is strong.

If only argument II is strong.

If either I or II is strong.

If neither I nor II is strong ; and

If both I and II are strong.

Solution:

Only I is strong because nutritional condition of a child is directly related with the role of a mother and if the programme is community-based its result will be remarkable. II is a weak argument because it is a misinterpretation of the work ‘community’.

Q14.Statement: Should the Elections Commission (EC) make it mandatory for political parties to give 33 per cent tickets to women?

Arguments:

I. Yes, the move will ensure larger percentage of women’s representation in political arena.

II. No, the move will compel the parties to distribute tickets to women for those seats where possibility to win is less.

If only argument I is strong.

If only argument II is strong.

If either I or II is strong.

If neither I nor II is strong ; and

If both I and II are strong.

Solution:

I is a strong argument because it is true that the outcome of the move will result as explained in the argument I. but II is weak because the abuse of a situation is inherent in any move.
