In the question, a statement is given, followed by two arguments, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be at variance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given arguments, if any, is a strong argument. Statement: Should one year of army training be compulsory for all Indian citizens? Argument I: No, the costs of training will be prohibitive and one year of labour will be lost. Argument II: Yes, army training helps make better citizens. Correct Answer If only argument I is strong. Statement: Should one year of army training be compulsory for all Indian citizens? Argument I: No, the costs of training will be prohibitive and one year of labour will be lost. → Due to the training, there will be a loss of labour for one year. Therefore argument I is strong. Argument II: Yes, army training helps make better citizens. → Clearly, it is not necessary that the army training helps to make a better citizen. The impact of training differs from person to person. So, the argument II is vague. Hence, the only argument I is strong. Important Points In question of Statement and Arguments, it is not necessary that statement contains all the things which are given in arguments. In these questions, we just have to think that whether the arguments are strong or not.
