Question

Directions: The question consists of  statement and two arguments. The student must first determine whether each statement is true. Choose the appropriate option after reading the three statements carefully.

Statement: Is buying things on instalments profitable to the customer?

Arguments:

I. Yes. He has to pay less.

II. No, paying instalments upsets the family budget.

1. Only argument I is strong
2. Only argument II is strong
3. Either I or II is strong
4. Neither I nor II is strong
5. Both I and II are strong

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : Neither I nor II is strong
The correct answer is option 4. In buying things on instalments, a customer has to pay more as the interest is also included. So, argument I does not hold. Moreover, one who buys an item on instalments maintains his future budget accordingly as he is well acquainted with when and how much he has to pay, beforehand. So, argument II is also not valid.
