The following question consists 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 all the colleges in India be allowed to devise their own curriculum and syllabus for the vocational courses promoting self-employment?

Arguments: I. Yes. This is an important step to generate employment opportunities.

                 II. No. This will affect the quality of education due to lack of uniformity in syllabus.


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 A

Explanation:

Clearly, colleges, if given a free hand, would through individual efforts come up with fresh, competent courses to draw in more students. This would open up new avenues for employment. So, the argument I hold strong. In the light of this, argument II appears to be vague.
