Question

The following 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.

Statement : Should cutting of trees be banned altogether ?

Arguments : I. Yes. It is very much necessary to do so to restore ecological balance.

                    II. No. A total ban would harm timber based industries.


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 E

Clearly, trees play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and so must be

preserved. So. argument I holds. Also, trees form the hasic source of timber and a

complete ban on cutting of trees would harm timber based industries. So, only a

controlled cutting of trees should be allowed and the loss replenished by planting more

trees. So, argument II is also valid.
