Logical Reasoning(SBI-CL) Statement - Arguments

Directions (): The question given below consists of a statement, followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a ‘strong’ argument and which is a ‘weak’ argument.

Statement: Should all the unauthorized structures in the city be demolished?

Arguments:

I. No. Where will the people residing in such houses live?

II. Yes. This will give a clear message to general public and they will refrain from constructing unauthorized buildings.

If only argument I is strong

If only argument II is strong

If either I or II is strong

If neither I nor II is strong

If both I and II are strong

Explanation:

The demolition of unauthorized buildings would teach a lesson to the unscrupulous builders and also serve as a warning for the citizens not to indulge in such activities in the future. This is essential, as unauthorized constructions impose undue burden on the city’s infrastructure.

So, only argument II holds strong.
