Options
A. Only I and II follow
B. Only II follows
C. II, and either I or III follow
D. All I, II and III follow
E. None of these
Correct Answer
Only I and II follow

Clearly, capability is an essential criteria for a profession and reservation cannot ensure capable workers. So, neither I nor III holds strong. However, making one caste more privileged than the other through reservations would hinder the objectives of a classless society. So, argument II holds strong.
7. Statement: 'Guests should be provided lunch.' - A tells B.
