1. 

Statement:  Should there be reservation in Government jobs for candidates from single child family.

Arguments: 

(I)    No. this is not advisable as the jobs should be offered to only deserving candidates without any reservation for a particular group.

(II)   Yes. This will help reduce the growing population in India as the parents  will be encouraged to adopt single child norm.

A. Only argument I is strong .
B. Only argument II is strong.
C. Either I or II is strong.
D. Neither I nor II is strong.
E. Both I and II are strong.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The Government has already made provisions for reservation of jobs for the economically backward sections, which is a must. So, abolishing the practice of reservation altogether has no meaning. Thus, argument I is vague. Also, more reservations would lead to non-recruitment of many more deserving candidates. Besides, such a reservation, if implemented, will cater to the job requirements of only a small section of population and not a major part of it. So, argument II also does not hold strong.
