5.

Neither argument is strong.

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 :

Only I is strong.

The statement poses a simple question about banning the fairness creams in India.

Argument I agrees to the move of banning the products and suggests that such products only widen the gulf between the people on the basis of their color and race. Therefore, argument I is strong.

Argument II suggests the creams should not be banned because they make the belief about rectifying the errors strong. This is an absurd argument because it inherently believes darkness in a flaw. Therefore, argument II is not strong.

Hence, Only I is strong.
