Question
It is wise on the part of the government to disinvest from PSUs?Arguments:I. Yes, overheads of PSUs are increasing making the total cost of production higher and higher.II. No, the fundamental purpose of PSUs is to provide employment to the people.
Options:
A .  if only argument I is strong.
B .  if only argument II is strong.
C .  if either I or II is strong.
D .  if neither I nor II is strong.
E .  if both I and II are strong.
Answer: Option D


Statement I says that total cost is increasing. But this does not mention whether production is also correspondingly increasing or not. If production is also increasing, then there would not be any problem. Hence, this statement is weak.
Statement II: We do not know whether the employees would be removed or not. It is likely that the employment is not disturbed. Hence this is also a weak argument.
