  • (E) If both I and II are strong.




Statement: Is the Government justified in spending so much on defence?


Arguments:



  1. Yes. Safety of the country is of prime importance.

  2. No. During peace, this money could be used for the development of the country.

Options:
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: Option A
Clearly, defence is necessary for the safety of the country, which is of prime importance. So, argument I holds. Also, a country can concentrate on internal progress and development only when it is safe from external aggressions. So, argument II does not hold.
