Directions : Each of the following question consists of a statement followed by two arguments I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument. Statement : Should new big industries be started in Mumbai? Arguments : I. Yes. It will create job opportunities. II. No. It will further add to the pollution of the city.

Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong E. Both I and II are strong

The correct answer is: C. Either I or II is strong

Argument I is strong because it is based on a valid reason. Creating job opportunities is a good reason to start new big industries in Mumbai.

Argument II is weak because it is based on an assumption. It assumes that new big industries will further add to the pollution of the city. However, this assumption is not necessarily true. New big industries could be started in Mumbai in a way that does not add to the pollution of the city.

Therefore, either argument I or argument II is strong.
