Question
Each question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.
Give answer:
- (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.
Statement: Should the persons below the age of 18 years be allowed to join armed forces?
Arguments:
- No. Persons below the age of 18 do not attain both physical and mental maturity to shoulder such burden.
- Yes. This will help the country develop its armed forces which will serve the country for a longer time.
Answer: Option A
The armed forces must consist of physically strong and mentally mature individuals to take care of defence properly. So, argument I holds strong. Clearly, argument II holds no relevance.
