1.  Statement : Should workers/employees be allowed to participate in the management of factories in India ?
Arguments :

I. Yes. It is the present management theory.
II. No. Many workers are illiterate and so their contributions will not be of any value.
III. Yes. Employees - owned companies generally have higher productivity.
IV. No. Employee - union ownership drives up salaries and wages.


A. Only I and II are strong
B. None is strong
C. Only II and III are strong
D. All are strong
E. None of these

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Argument I in support does not provide a valid reason for the pursuance of policy. So, it is vague. Argument II provide a valid reason, as literacy is an essential criteria to take proper decisions on policy matters regarding management of factories. Besides workers, if involved in management, would surely be motivated to work more devotedly, thus enhancing productivity . So both II and III follow. IV provides a reason too feble in the right of facts given in II and III. So, IV also does not hold strong.
