Statement: Should import duty on all the electronic goods be dispensed with? Arguments: No. This will considerably reduce the income of the government and will adversely affect the developmental activities. No. The local manufacturers will not be able to compete with the foreign manufacturers who are technologically far superior.

Correct Answer: Only argument II is strong

Explanation:

Abolishing the import duty on electronic goods shall reduce the costs of imported goods and adversely affect the sale of the domestic products, thus giving a setback to the Indian electronics industry. So, argument II holds strong. Argument I does not provide a convincing reason.
