B.
Only argument II is strong
|
C.
Either I or II is strong
|
D.
Neither I nor II is strong
|
E.
Both I and II are strong
|
Answer : Option B
Explanation :
Clearly, there should be some norms regarding the number of ministers in the Government, as more number of ministers would unnecessarily add to the Government expenditure. So, argument II holds strong; Also, giving liberty to the party in power could promote extension of unreasonable favour to some people at the cost of government funds. So, argument I does not hold.
