Directions: In making decisions about important questions it is desirable to be able to distinguish between 'strong' arguments and 'weak' arguments so far as they relate to the question. 'Strong' arguments must be both important and directly related to the questions. 'Weak' arguments may not be directly related to the question. The statement below is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument. Give answer (1) if only argument I is strong; give answer (2) if only argument II is strong; give answer (3) if one could weaken the other; give answer (4) if neither I nor II is strong; and give answer (5) if both I and II are strong.

Statement: Should Government freeze pay scales and salary of all private and public sector employees to contain inflation? Arguments: I. Yes, all over the world this is considered as a sure way to contain inflation. II. No, the government should control market forces to keep check on the prices.
