Statement: Should the tuition fees in all post-graduate courses be hiked considerably?


Arguments:



  1. Yes. This will bring in some sense of seriousness among the students and will improve the quality.

  2. No. This will force the meritorious poor students to stay away from post-graduate courses.

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 B
A hike in fees is no means to make the students more serious in studies. So, argument I is vague. However, with the increase in fees, poor meritorious students would not be able to afford post-graduate studies. So, argument II holds.
