The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: The imposition of Governor’s rule in Jammu and Kashmir will not affect operations in the state, according to Army Chief General, even as security forces are looking at higher intensity of operations against terrorists, to force them to ‘hibernate’. These operations will be based on greater level of intelligence from the J&K Police, as compared to what was being generated during the suspension of operations for the holy month of Ramzan. A challenge, however, for the security forces still remains the recruitment of local terrorists. Why? Arguments: I. Meanwhile, data shared by security forces reveal that there are about 210 terrorists currently operating in Kashmir, mainly in the South. Out of this, 65 per cent are locals and the remaining are foreign terrorists.  II. In South Kashmir itself, the maximum number of terrorists belong to the HizbulMujahideen, while some are from the Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. III. When a local terrorist is killed during an operation, at his funeral more locals are willing to join terrorism. It is a mob mentality.

When a local terrorist is killed during an operation, at his funeral more locals are willing to join terrorism. It is a mob mentality. Correct Answer Only III is strong.

The correct answer is option 4, i.e. Only III is strong.

We first make sure to read the statement carefully and then see what immediate inferences can be drawn based on our first reading. The next step is to look at the arguments given in the options, analyze them and see if they seem relevant with respect to the information/data provided to us. Finally, it is very important to study the question closely.

Following the aforementioned steps we realize that the biggest challenge for security forces is the recruitment of local terrorist and the most appropriate argument in support of it is the influence which is on the ones who attend someone close’s funeral and also get a feeling to join terrorism. This is a general happening which occurs in most of the people who suffer from the pain of seeing their close ones on the death bed and it ignites a fury to join terrorism among the individuals. And as such incidents will keep on happening more and more terrorist will be born and this might prove fatal thereby, affecting the peace and destruction. As far as rest of the arguments are concerned both (I) and (II) do not specifically highlight the reason as to why the local recruitment will pose a problem for the security forces.

Thus, the correct answer is option 4.

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments and which is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: India’s telecom watchdog has suggested regulation of all entities dealing with consumer data—devices such as iPhones, operating systems such as Android, browsers like Google’s Chrome and apps such as Facebook, Paytm, Uber or Zomato— by bringing them under licence conditions that apply to telecom service providers until a general data protection law is put in place by the government. Which of the following argument weakens the above statement in the best possible manner? Arguments: I. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) said the framework for protection of personal information is ‘not sufficient’ and that the issue of data ownership, privacy, and security is complex and multi-dimensional. It suggested expanding the ambit of licence conditions governing telcos to all entities handling customer information and empowerment of customers to keep their data secure. II. The telecom watchdog further said that individual users owned their data, or personal information, and entities such as devices were ‘mere custodians’ and do not have primary rights over that information. III. Telcos and internet service providers (ISPs) though welcomed recommendations that sought to bring app makers under the same regulations. However, content providers have been opposed to being brought under more regulation. 
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Unsurprisingly, the latest conviction comes a month after the FATF, a global dirty money watchdog, urged Pakistan to complete an internationally agreed action plan to fight terror financing. In February 2018, Pakistan endorsed a UN list of terrorist organizations operating in the country and enforced a nationwide ban on them, including the LeT and the JuD, just before a meeting of the FATF. But the FATF still placed Pakistan on its “grey list” in June 2018, and demanded more actions from Islamabad to avoid being blacklisted, which could invite economic sanctions. Ever since, Pakistan, which cannot afford to be blacklisted, especially when its economy is in shambles, has moved against Saeed. The Anti-Terrorism Department’s FIRs against Saeed and his aides accuse the JuD of financing terrorism from its fund collections in the name of charity through NGOs. While the authorities’ move against Saeed is welcome, the question is whether these are genuine attempts to fight terrorism or half-hearted measures to dodge international pressure. There are doubts because Pakistan had used anti-India and anti-Afghan terrorist networks for strategic advantages. It was this dual policy of fighting terror at home while nurturing terror groups that target its rivals abroad that has been responsible for Pakistan’s predicament. If it is serious about fighting terrorism, Pakistan should crackdown on terror financing and terror infrastructure. The international community and organizations, including the FATF, should keep up the pressure until Islamabad shows tangible outcomes. According to the passage, why FATF did not remove Pakistan from the "grey list"?

Statement: A shortage of bank branches and ATMs across India’s hinterland is holding back Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s financial inclusion efforts and risks angering rural voters ahead of elections next year. After taking office in 2014, Modi set an ambitious target to open a bank account for every household to ensure welfare funds flow directly to India’s poor, while improving access to credit and insurance programs. He pushed policies that helped bring 310 million people into the formal banking system in just four years, according to the World Bank. Based on the arguments stated below and he information stated above, which of the following arguments state the reason for the problem, ‘But many of India’s villages still lack bank branches or ATMs to help service new customers, while the pace of building new financial infrastructure has actually slowed’.  Arguments: I. Because Modi’s government effectively forced poor citizens into the banking system by linking some welfare benefits to bank accounts, villagers have ended up stuck in long queues and struggling with ATMs that often run out of cash or break down.  II. With an election due next year, the mismatch between the government’s policies and the rural banking system is generating frustration among a key slice of India’s electorate. III. The banking system struggled to keep up, while some gains proved temporary. Nearly half of Indian bank accounts were inactive in 2017, meaning they weren’t used at all in the previous 12 months

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: The domestic equity market has become supervolatile  and converted the psychology of every market participant into fear. Greed and fear continue to alternate in the market, like the two sides of a coin. To a seasoned player, there seems to be nothing new as such instances of panic-selling often occur time and again. Why? Arguments: I. Since demonetisation, herd mentality had jacked up financials, banks and NBFC stocks to great heights on the pretext of financial inclusion and formalisation of the economy. This caused the financials gain disproportionate share in Nifty50 at 35 per cent of the free float market capitalisation, which was unheard of in the past.  II. The domestic market seems to be deeply oversold and can rebound on any good news. The Nifty50 has taken long-term support at the three-year trend line, which makes a case for the correction to near its end. III. Investors, therefore, should not panic and sell off shares. Instead they should do the reverse and gather the courage to pump in more money into the market by picking quality stocks or investing in ETFs for more stable returns.
