Statement and Argument

Q1: Statement: Should there be reservation in Government jobs for candidates from single child family? Arguments:
  1. No. This is not advisable as the jobs should be offered to only deserving candidates without any reservation for a particular group.
  2. Yes. This will help reduce the growing population in India as the parents will be encouraged to adopt single child norm.

A Both I and II are strong

B Either I or II is strong

C Neither I nor II is strong

D Only argument I is strong

E Only argument II is strong

ANS:D - Neither I nor II is strong

Explanation: The Government has already made provisions for reservation of jobs for the economically backward sections, which is a must. So, abolishing the practice of reservation altogether has no meaning. Thus, argument I is vague. Also, more reservations would lead to non-recruitment of many more deserving candidates. Besides, such a reservation, if implemented, will cater to the job requirements of only a small section of population and not a major part of it. So, argument II also does not hold strong.
