Instructions

In making decisions about important questions, it is desirable to be able to distinguish between "strong" arguments and "weak" arguments. "Strong" arguments must be both important and directly related to the question. "Weak" arguments may not be directly related to the question and may be of minor importance or may be related to the trivial aspects of the question.
Each question below is followed by three arguments numbered I, II and III. You have to decide which of the argument(s) is/are "strong". I.

Question 191

Should the Government restrict use of electricity for each household depending upon the requirement ?
Arguments :
I. Yes, this will help government tide over the problem of inadequate generation of electricity.
II. No, every citizen has right to consume electricity as per their requirement as they pay for using electricity.
III. No, the Government does not have the machinery to put such a restriction on use of electricity.

Solution

Argument I is strong because, if saving is going on, then it will reduce the power problem. Argument II is also strong because people needed the electricity and power and for that they are paying enough. Argument III is not strong because government can make rules and regulation to reduce the consumption.

Thus, only I and II are strong.
