Statement: Should all the practising doctors be brought under Government control so that they get salary from the Government and treat patients free of cost? Arguments: No. How can any country do such an undemocratic thing? Yes. Despite many problems, it will certainly help minimize, if not eradicate, unethical medical practices.

Only argument I is strong
Only argument II is strong
Either I or II is strong
Neither I nor II is strong
Both I and II are strong

Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong

Explanation:

A doctor treating a patient individually can mislead the patient into wrong and unnecessary treatment for his personal gain. So, argument II holds strong. Also, a policy beneficial to common people cannot be termed 'undemocratic'. So, I is vague.
