Download Solution PDFGiven statements: Is the government justified in spending so much on defence?
Arguments:
I. Yes, safety of a nation is of prime importance. → Strong
II. No, during peace this money could be used for the development of the country. → Weak
Defence is necessary for the safety of the country and thus it is of prime importance. Thus argument I holds. Internal progress and development can be taken care of only when the country feels safe from external aggressions. Thus argument II does not hold.
Thus, Only argument I is strong.
Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
