- Statement:
- Should agriculture in rural India be mechanized?
- Argument :
- I. Yes. It would lead to higher production.
- II. No. Many villagers would be left unemployed.
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
Clearly, mechanization would speed up the work and increase production. So, the argument I is strong enough.
Argument II is vague because mechanization will only eliminate wasteful employment, not create unemployment.
