Arguments
I. Yes, there is no other way to provide food to its citizens during the year.
II. No, the Government does not have its jurisdiction over private exporters for banning export.
III. Yes, the Government should not allow the exporters to export food grains and procure all the food grains held by such exporters and make it available for home consumption.
Options- A. I and II are strong
- B. II and III are strong
- C. I and III are strong
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- None of these
ExplanationArgument I is weak as it is not true. Argument II is also weak on the same grounds. Argument III is strong as it elaborates on how banning exports would help tackle the drought situation.

More questions
Correct Answer: ÷ x +
Explanation:
From option (c),
8 * 8 * 1 * 7 = 8
? 8 ÷ 8 x 1 + 7 = 8
? 8 = 8
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
Statements
P < Q = R ? S ? T
Conclusions
I. T ? Q (true)
II. R > P (true)
Hence, both conclusions are definitely true.
Correct Answer: + and ÷
Explanation:
If we interchanges signs '+' and '÷', then the equation changes into
15 + 9 x 3 - 74 ÷ 2 = 15 + 27 - 37 = 5
Correct Answer: 36 + 6 - 3 x 2 = 20
Explanation:
Solve all option one by one,
36 + 6 - 3 x 2 = 20
After changing the symbol as per question,
36 ÷ 6 x 3 + 2 = 20
Apply the BODMAS rule,
? 6 x 3 + 2 = 20
? 18 + 2 = 20
? 20 = 20
Correct Answer: All I, II and III are true
Explanation:
H ? W ..(i) W < N ...(ii) R = N ...(iii)
Combining these we get H ? W < N = R
Hence R > W and I follows
Again N > W and II follows
And, H < R III follows
Correct Answer: x x
Explanation:
4 x 3 x 4 = 48
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
D ? N ...(i) R = F ...(ii) F > T ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii) D ? R = F or D ? F or F ? D.
Hence either I (F = D ) or II (F > D) follows
From (ii) and (iii) R = F > T or R > T or T < R.
Hence III follows.
Correct Answer: if only conclusion I is true
Explanation:
M < T ... (i) T > K ...(ii) K = D ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii) T > K = D or D < T.
Hence I follow
From (i) and (ii) K and M can't be compared
Hence II does not follow
Correct Answer: if only conclusion II is true
Explanation:
N < O ? R > T; R < A; B ? T
Check for I:
N < O ? R > T
? No definite relation can be found between N and A.
Check for II:
Correct Answer: + and x, 4 and 6
Explanation:
Apply all option one by one.
? 6 x 4 + 2 = 16 ? 4 + 6 x 2 = 16 ? 4 + 12 = 16
