The following question consist of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument.

 Statement: Should the railways immediately stop issuing free passes to all its employees?

Arguments: I. No. The employees have the right to travel freely. 

                 II. Yes. This will help railways to provide better facilities.


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

E) if both I and II are strong.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

The free passes given to railway employees is a privilege for them, not their right. So, the argument I do not hold. Argument II seems to be vague.
