  • (E) If both I and II are strong.
Q1:

Statement: Should we scrap the system of formal education beyond graduation? Arguments:
  1. Yes. It will mean taking employment at an early date.
  2. No. It will mean lack of depth of knowledge.

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:B - Only argument II is strong

Explanation: Clearly, argument I is vague because at present too, many fields are open to all after graduation. However, eliminating the post-graduate courses would abolish higher and specialized studies which lead to understanding things better and deeply. So, argument II is valid.
