Directions : Following question consists of a statement followed by three arguments I, II and III . You have to decide which of the arguments is a STRONG arguments and which is a WEAK Argument. Statement : Should there be a total ban on tobacco products and smoking in India? Arguments : I. Yes. It is wrong to smoke away millions of money. II. No. It will throw thousands of workers in the tobacco industry out of employment. III. No. The government will lose huge amount of money as it will not earn by way of taxes on these products.

The correct answer is: A. None is strong

Argument I is not strong because it is based on the assumption that smoking is wrong. This is a value judgment that cannot be proven or disproven.

Argument II is not strong because it is based on the assumption that banning tobacco products will throw thousands of workers out of employment. This is a possibility, but it is not certain. There are other industries that could absorb these workers, or the government could provide them with assistance.

Argument III is not strong because it is based on the assumption that the government will lose money if it bans tobacco products. This is also a possibility, but it is not certain. The government could make up for the lost revenue by increasing taxes on other products or by cutting spending in other areas.

In conclusion, none of the arguments are strong enough to support the conclusion that there should be a total ban on tobacco products and smoking in India.
