  • Question
  • Statement: Should the parliamentary elections in India be held every three years as against five years at present?

    Arguments:

    1. No. This will enhance wastage of money and resources.
    2. Yes. This will help the voters to change non-performing representatives without much delay.
    3. No. The elected representatives will not have enough time to settle and concentrate on developmental activities.


  • Options
  • A. None is strong
  • B. Only I and II are strong
  • C. Only II and III are strong
  • D. Only I and III are strong
  • E. All are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only I and III are strong 

    Explanation
    The election process entails exorbitant expenditure. So, holding elections very often will surely lead to wastage of money and resources. Thus, I holds strong. Also, the elected representatives need a considerable period of time to implement their policies and also convince the voters of their working. So, III holds strong while II does not.
