  • Question

  • Statement: Should octroi be abolished?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. It will eliminate an important source of corruption.
    2. No. It will adversely affect government revenues.


  • Options
  • A. Only argument I is strong
  • 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

  • Correct Answer
  • Both I and II are strong 

    Explanation
    'Octroi' is a custom duty. If octroi is abolished, the practice of bringing in things from foreign countries illegally will be abolished. So, argument I holds strong. Also, if octroi is abolished, the income to the government in the way of the duty paid shall be diminished. So, argument II also holds strong.
