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 central government has told the Supreme Court that anti-adultery laws were required to protect the ‘sanctity of marriage and the institution of family', and any attempt to do away with these laws would hurt ‘Indian ethos'. The government was responding to a court notice on a public interest litigation which wanted the law struck down as it was not gender neutral and the provisions were tilted against men. Which among the following arguments support the above statement regarding the ‘revision of such laws' in the best possible manner Arguments: I. It seemed to suggest that women were chattel owned by men and could be guided and misguided. II. This would erode the sanctity of marriage as an institution and the societal fabric. The issue of making the provision gender neutral was already pending before the government. III. Any step towards decriminalising the offence in the interim would be detrimental to Indian ethos which gives paramount importance to the institution and sanctity of marriage.?

In the question below, are given a statement followed by three courses of actions numbered I, II and III. On the basis of the information given, you have to assume everything in the statement to be true, and then decide which of the suggested courses of action logically follow(s) for pursuing. Statement: The rupee may slump to a new low this year amid global policy uncertainties while domestic interest rates will remain elevated, raising borrowing costs, according to an ET poll of 20 market participants. Nearly three-fourths of the respondents believe the local unit could touch 69 to the dollar with some even pointing to 70 by December-end. The rupee is one of the worst-performing emerging market currencies this year, having lost about 6.7 per cent to the greenback to close at 68.13 on Monday. Courses of action: I. Indian corporates may borrow less ahead of elections with the likely benchmark rate at 8 per cent or more. Half the poll participants were of the opinion that the benchmark yield will either hover around that level or rise further. II. External factors coupled with domestic macro measures like weak current account deficit or fiscal deficit are likely to impact the rupee. The US Fed seems to be on course to raise rates. III. Upcoming elections trigger a bit of policy uncertainty. A cocktail of factors including dollar strengthening, foreign fund outflows, general emerging market weakness and oil would continue to weigh on the rupee.?

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between strong and weak arguments. Strong arguments are those, which are both important and directly related to the question.

The questions below are followed by two arguments each numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the two arguments is the strong argument and which is the weak argument.

Option 3 : Mechanical engineering is a profession well suited for women with masters or higher degrees in mechanical engineering.

Let us examine the options one by one:

Various engineering disciplines have not been talked about in the paragraph and thus this inference does not follow. We cannot make a general statement with respect to various disciplines when only mechanical engineering has been talked about.
The poll taken was for students and the gender of the students participating in the poll has not been mentioned. Thus this inference does not hold.
This inference hold because the research study found that the women with a high degree in mechanical engineering were successful in their profession. Thus it can be a suitable profession for them.
We cannot infer anything about the number of women pursuing mechanical engineering because no information has been provided regarding the same.

Thus option 3 is the answer.
