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 administrative officers be transferred after one or two years? Arguments : I. Yes. They get friendly with local people and are manipulated by them. II. No. By the time their policies and schemes start taking shape, they have to leave. III. No. This will create a lot of administrative hassles and cause a lot of inconvenience to the officers.

The correct answer is: Only II is strong.

Argument I is not strong because it is based on the assumption that administrative officers are easily manipulated by local people. This assumption is not necessarily true, and there is no evidence to support it.

Argument II is strong because it is based on the fact that it takes time for policies and schemes to take shape. If administrative officers are transferred after one or two years, they will not be able to see the results of their work. This can be demoralizing for the officers and can also lead to a lack of continuity in policy implementation.

Argument III is not strong because it is based on the assumption that transferring administrative officers will create a lot of administrative hassles and cause a lot of inconvenience to the officers. This assumption is not necessarily true, and there are ways to minimize the disruption caused by transfers.

In conclusion, only Argument II is strong.
