Option 2 : Only argument I is strong

Argument I is strong.

If 2-wheelers causes more pollution than cars, not exempting them would be unfair and would defeat the very purpose, reducing pollution, for which the ODD-EVEN scheme would be introduced, noting that the number of 2-wheelers in the Delhi roads are more than the 4-wheelers. The Argument I is strong.

Using public transport is more affordable than using 2-wheelers. Not exempting the 2-wheelers from the proposed ODD-EVEN scheme would force the 2-wheelers users to use public transport and would save them money, decrease pollution and traffic jam. So, the argument II is weak.
