Q1:

Statement: Is caste-based reservation policy in professional colleges justified? Arguments:

A Only I and II are strong

B Only II is strong

C Only II and III are strong

D Only I and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:B - Only II is strong

However, making one caste more privileged than the other through reservations would hinder the objectives of a classless society. So, argument II holds strong.
