Statement and Argument - Verbal and Reasoning

Q1:

Statement: Should there be a cap on maximum number of contestants for parliamentary elections in any constituency? Arguments:
  1. Yes. This will make the parliamentary elections more meaningful as the voters can make a considered judgement for casting their vote.
  2. No. In a democracy any person fulfilling the eligibility criteria can contest parliamentary elections and there should be no restrictions.

A Only argument I is strong

B Only argument II is strong

C Either I or II is strong

D Neither I nor II is strong

E Both I and II are strong

ANS:E - Both I and II are strong

Explanation: Clearly, if there were less candidates, the voters would find it easy to make a choice. So, argument I holds. Also, every person satisfying the conditions laid down by the Constitution must be given an opportunity and should not be denied the same just to cut down the number of candidates. So, argument II also holds strong.
