    Statement: Does India need so many plans for development?

    Arguments: I. Yes. Nothing can be achieved without proper planning.

    Arguments: II. No. Too much time, money and energy is wasted on planning.

    Solution

    Before indulging in new development programme it is much necessary to plan the exact target, policies and their implementation and the allocation of funds which shows the right direction to work. So, argument I holds strong. Also, planning ensures full utilization of available resources and funds and stepwise approach towards the target. So, spending a part of money on it is no wastage. Thus, argument II is not valid.

    Statement: Should colleges be given the status of a university in India?

    Arguments:  I. Yes. Colleges are in a better position to assess the student's performance and therefore the degrees will be more valid.

    Arguments: II. No. It is Utopian to think that there will not be nepotism and corruption in awarding degrees by colleges.

    Solution

    Clearly, at the college level, all the students are assessed according to their performance in the University Exams and not on the basis of any criteria of a more intimate dealings with the students. So, argument I is vague. Also, at this level the awarding of degrees is impartial and simply based on his performance. So, argument II also does not hold.

    Arguments: II. No. It is our policy that everybody is equal before the law.

    Solution

    The Constitution of India has laid down the doctrine of 'equality before the law'. So, argument II holds strong. Also, we cannot judge the intentions of a person behind committing a crime. So, argument I is vague.

    Statement: Can pollution be controlled?

    Arguments:  I. Yes. If everyone realizes the hazards it may create and cooperates to get rid of it, pollution may be controlled.

    Arguments: II. No. The crowded highways, factories and industries and an ever-growing population eager to acquire more and more land for constructing houses are beyond control.

    Solution

    The control of pollution, on one hand, seems to be impossible because of the ever-growing needs and the disconcert of the people but, on the other hand, the control is possible by a joint effort. So, either of the arguments will hold strong.

    Arguments: II. No. This will pose a threat to the national security of our country as multinationals will enter into the fray.

    Solution

    Privatization would no doubt lead to better services. But saying that this is the 'only way' is wrong. So, argument I does not hold. Argument II also seems to be vague.

    Statement: Should internal assessment in colleges be abolished?

    Arguments:  I. Yes. This will help in reducing the possibility of favoritism.

    Arguments: II. No, teaching faculty will lose control over students.

    Solution

    Abolishing the internal assessment would surely reduce favoritism on personal grounds because the teachers would not be involved in examination system so that they cannot extend personal benefits to anyone. So, argument I holds strong. But it will not affect the control of teaching faculty on students because still the teachers would be teaching them. So, argument II is vague.
