Statement:

Should all the practising doctors be brought under Government control so that they get a salary from the Government and treat patients free of cost?

Argument :

I. No. How can any country do such an undemocratic thing?

II. Yes. Despite many problems, it will certainly help minimize, if not eradicate, unethical medical practices.

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 and

E . if both I and II are strong.

Answer: Option B
Answer: (b)
A doctor treating a patient individually can mislead the patient into wrong and unnecessary treatment for his personal gain. So, argument II holds strong.
Also, a policy beneficial to common people cannot be termed 'undemocratic’. So, I is vague.
