Logical Reasoning(Master ) Statement - Arguments

Is the Government justified in spending so much on defence?

Arguments:

I. Yes. Safety of the country is of prime importance.

II. No. During peace, this money could be used for the development of the country.

Only argument I is strong

Only argument II is strong

Neither I nor II is strong

Both I and II are strong

Clearly, defence is necessary for the safety of the country,

which is of prime importance. So, argument I holds.

Also, a country can concentrate on internal progress and development only when it is safe from external aggressions.

So, argument II does not hold.

Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
