Critical Reasoning – Broad-based computerization policy Statement: Should India go in for computerization in all possible sectors? Arguments: I. Yes. It will bring efficiency and accuracy in work. II. No. It will be an injustice to the huge human resources currently underutilized. III. No. Computerization demands a lot of money; we should not waste money on it. IV. Yes. Advanced countries are computerizing every field; India should not lag behind.

Introduction / Context:We are to evaluate general arguments for or against wide computerization. Strong arguments must be relevant, broadly valid, and avoid fallacies like bandwagon or false economy.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Computerization typically affects speed, accuracy, auditability, and scalability.
• Workforce concerns and costs exist but require nuanced handling (reskilling, phased adoption).
• “All possible sectors” is a broad framing; arguments must address the general case.

Concept / Approach:Efficiency/accuracy is a coherent systems argument. Appeals to “not wasting money” or “others are doing it” are weaker without cost-benefit context; claiming injustice to human resources ignores reskilling and redeployment strategies.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:Even with transition costs, the systemic benefits of computerization remain durable, validating I.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Options including II/III/IV treat weak or fallacious claims as strong.
• “All are strong” clearly overstates.

Common Pitfalls:Confusing investment with waste; ignoring human-capital strategies that accompany technology adoption.

Final Answer:Only I is strong
