Statement: Should the consumption of aerated drinks be banned in India?

Question

Statement:

Should the consumption of aerated drinks be banned in India?

Arguments:

I. Yes. This is the only way to reduce the risk of exposing people to some diseases.

II. No. Each individual should have the right to choose what he wants.

III. No. There is no confirmed evidence that such products have adverse effects on the human body. IV. Yes. It is banned in many other countries also.

Answer: Option C
Answer: (c)
The use of ‘only' in I makes it invalid. Also, it is the duty of the government to save its citizens from the intake of any harmful products, even if they like them.
So, II does not hold strong. Besides, a product must not be banned unless its harmful effects have been proved.
So, III holds strong. Lastly, we cannot blindly follow the decisions taken by other countries.
So, IV also does not hold.
