Q1:

Statement: Should India go in for computerization in all possible sectors? Arguments:
  1. Yes. It will bring efficiency and accuracy in the work.
  2. No. It will be an injustice to the monumental human resources which are at present underutilized.
  3. No. Computerization demands a lot of money. We should not waste money on it.

A Only I is strong

B Only I and II are strong

C Only I and III are strong

D Only II and III are strong

E All are strong

ANS:A - Only I is strong

Explanation: Clearly, the need of today is to put to better use the underutilized human resources. Computers with better and speedy efficiency can accomplish this. So, argument I holds, while II does not. Computerization is a much beneficial project and investment in it is not at all a waste. So, III is not strong. Further, development in a new field is not a matter of merely following up other countries. So, IV also does not hold strong.
