  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should India give away Kashmir to Pakistan?

    Arguments: I. No. Kashmir is an integral part of India.
    Arguments: II. Yes. This would help settle conflicts.

    Solution

    Clearly, Kashmir is an integral part of India and India must protect all of its land area. So, argument I holds strong. Further giving away a piece of land unconditionally and unreasonably is no solution to settle disputes. So, argument II is vague.

     

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should system of offering jobs only to the wards of government employees be introduced in all government offices in India?

    Arguments: I. No. It denies opportunity to many deserving individuals and government may stand to lose in the long run.
    Arguments: II. No. It is against the principle of equality. Does not government owe its responsibility to all its citizens?

    Solution

    Merit, fair selection and equal opportunities for all -these three factors, if taken care of, can help government competent officials and also fulfil the objectives of the constitution. Thus, both the arguments hold strong.

     

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should the sex determination test during pregnancy be completely banned?

    Arguments: I. Yes. This leads to indiscriminate female foeticide and eventually will lead to social imbalance.
    Arguments: II. No. People have a right to know about their unborn child.

    Solution

    Parents indulging in sex determination of their unborn child generally do so as they want to keep only a boy child and do away with a girl child. So, argument I holds. Also, people have a right to know only about the health, development and general well-being of the child before its birth, and not the sex. So, argument II does not hold strong.

     

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should government jobs in rural areas have more incentives?

    Arguments: I. Yes. Incentives are essential for attracting government servants there.
    Arguments: II. No. Rural areas are already cheaper; healthier and less complex than big cities. So, why offer extra incentives.

    Solution

    Clearly, government jobs in rural areas are underlined with several difficulties. In lieu of these, extra incentives are needed. So, only argument I holds strong.

     

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should there be only one rate of interest for term deposits of varying durations in banks?

    Arguments: I. No. People will refrain from keeping money for longer duration resulting into reduction of liquidity level of banks.
    Arguments: II. Yes. This will be much simple for the common people and they may be encouraged to keep more money in banks.

    Solution

    Clearly, the proposed scheme would discourage people from keeping deposits for longer durations (the rate of interest being the same for short durations) and not draw in more funds. So, only argument I holds.

     

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should the oil companies be allowed to fix the price of petroleum products depending on market conditions?

    Arguments: I. Yes. This is the only way to make the oil companies commercially viable.
    Arguments: II. No. This will put additional burden on the retail prices of essential commodities and will cause a lot of hardship to the masses.

    Solution

    Clearly, oil is an essential commodity and its prices govern the prices of other essential commodities. As such, the interest of the common people must be taken care of, rather than the profitability of some oil companies. So, only argument II holds strong.

     

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should there be a maximum limit for the number of ministers in the Central Government?

    Arguments: I. No. The political party in power should have the freedom to decide the number of ministers to be appointed.
    Arguments: II. Yes. The number of ministers should be restricted to a certain percentage of the total number of seats in the parliament to avoid unnecessary expenditure.

    Solution

    Clearly, there should be some norms regarding the number of ministers In the Government, as more number of ministers would unnecessarily add to the Government expenditure. So, argument II holds strong. Also, giving liberty to the party in power could promote extension of unreasonable favour to some people at the cost of government funds. So, argument I does not hold.

     

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should India become a permanent member of UN?s Security Council?

    Arguments: I. Yes. India has emerged as a country which loves peace and amity.
    Arguments: II. No. Let us first solve problems of our own people like poverty, malnutrition.

    Solution

    A peace-loving nation like India can well join an International forum which seeks to bring different nations on friendly terms with each other. So, argument I holds strong. Argument II highlights a different aspect. The internal problems of a nation should not debar it from strengthening international ties. So, argument II is vague.

     

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should the persons below the age of 18 years be allowed to join armed forces?

    Arguments: I. No, Persons below the age of 18 do not attain both physical and mental maturity to shoulder such burden.
    Arguments: II. Yes. This will help the country develop its armed forces which will serve the country for a longer time.

    Solution

    The armed forces must consist of physically strong and mentally mature individuals to take care of defence properly. So, argument I holds strong. Clearly, argument II holds no relevance.

     

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Statement: Should all infrastructural development projects in India be handed over to the private sector?

    Arguments: I. No, The private sector entities are not equipped to handle such projects.
    Arguments: II. Yes. Such projects are handled by private sector in the developed countries.

    Solution

    Clearly, such projects if handed over to the private sector shall be given to a competent authority. So, argument I is vague. Also, imitating a policy on the basis that it worked out successfully in other countries, holds no relevance. Thus, argument II also does not hold strong.
