Question 161

Should there be only five holidays in a calendar year in all the states of India ?
Arguments:
I. Yes, we can not afford to lose so many working days as at present.
II. Yes, the USA has few holidays in a calendar year.

Solution

Argument 1 says that we can not afford to lose so many working days as at present. But this is not backed by any reasoning. Thus it is incorrect.

Argument 2 says that the USA has few holidays in a calendar year but it does not mention the number of holidays at all. Thus it is also incorrect.

Hence Option D.
