Statement: Should the railways in India be privatized in a phased manner like other public sector enterprises?

Arguments:

1. Yes. This is the only way to bring in competitiveness and provide better services to the public.

2. No. This will pose a threat to the national security of our country as multinationals will enter into the fray

  • 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

Answer: D

Correct answer: Neither I nor II is strong

Both overreach. I claims privatisation is the *only* way to obtain competitiveness and better service, which is plainly not so - regulation, restructuring and competition within the public sector are all available. II asserts a threat to national security from multinationals without any link between private ownership and that threat. A strong argument must be supported as well as relevant.
