Question 31

A

B
Only I is strong
C
Only I and III are strong
D
Only I and II are strong
E
All are strong
Correct Answer: Option B

In an organization, what matter most is productivity and to ensure productivity, the organization needs to have effective managers and innovative, devoted and hard working employees. Thus, the capability of the individuals should be the only criterion for promotion. So, only argument I holds strong, while II and III do not.

Question 32
Statement : Should the number of holidays of government employees be reduced.
Arguments :

I. Yes. Our government employees are having the maximum number of holidays among the countries of the world.
II. Yes. It is the sign of British legacy, why should we carry it further.
III.Yes. it will speed up work and all the pending jobs can be completed well in time.

A
Only I and III are strong
B
Only III is strong
C
Only I, III and IV are strong
D
None is strong
E
None of these
Correct Answer: Option B

Reducing the number of holidays just because no other country gives so many holidays or it is a feature of certain system which we have renounced, does not seem convincing. So, neither I nor II holds strong. However, this step would surely help to reduce the backlog of pending cases and dispense with the new cases much more quickly than before. So, III holds strong. Even if the holidays are reduced, only the avoidable or seemingly unnecessary ones shall be cut short and the national holidays shall still remain to enjoy. So, IV also does not hold.

Question 33
Statement : Should there be complete ban on manufacture and use of firecrackers ?
Arguments : 

I. No. This will render thousands of workers jobless.
II. Yes. The firecracker manufacturers use child labor to a large extent.
III. Yes. This will be a concrete step to reduce noise and air pollution.
IV. No. Use of firecrackers makes certain special occassions more lively and joyful.


A
Only I and II are strong
B
Only I and III are strong
C
Only III and IV are strong
D
Only I, II and III are strong
E
Only I, III and IV are strong
Correct Answer: Option B

Clearly, banning a product would surely render jobless the large number of workers involving in manufacturing it. Besides, firecrackers on burning produce explosive sounds and immense poisonous fumes, which cause both air and noise pollution. So, both argument I and III hold. However, to stop child labor, it is necessary to close down the industry but stricts law against child abuse should be enforced and legal actions taken. Similarly, there are many other ways to make parties boisterous and special events enjoyable. Hence, II as well as IV does not hold strong.

Question 34
Statement : Should all the profit making public sector units be sold to private companies ?
Arguments :

I. Yes. This will help the government to augment its resources for implementing the development programmes.
II. No. The private companies will not be able to run these units effectively.
III. Yes. There will be a significant improvement in the quality of services.
IV. No. There would not be job security for the  employees at all the levels.
A
Only II and III are strong
B
All are strong
C
Only III and IV are strong
D
Only I, II and III are strong
E
Only II, III and IV are strong
Correct Answer: Option C

The government cannot sell off public sector units just to pool up funds for development. Besides, if it does so, these units shall be handed over to private comanies which are fully equipped to run these units effectively. So, neither I nor II holds strong. privatization shall surely ensure better services. but private companies adopt hire and free policy and they are free to terminate the services of any employee as and when they wish to. Thus, both III and IV hold strong.

Question 35
Statement : Should the government ban all forms of protests including strikes and processions ?
Arguments :

I. Yes. This is the only way to teach discipline to the employees.
II. No. Government cannot deprive it s citizens of their basic rights.
III.Yes. This is the only way to ensure maximum productivity without disruption of work.

A
None is strong
B
Only I and II are strong
C
Only II and III are strong
D
Only I and III are strong
E
All are strong
Correct Answer: Option C

Clearly, strike is not a means of indiscipline but only a practice in which the workers exercise their fundamental right to voice their protest against the atrocities of the management. So, argument I is vague while II holds. Also, the option of resorting to strikes often aggravates petty issues and disrupts work for long periods, thus affecting productivity. So, III also holds strong.
