Q.

Statement: Should cutting of trees be banned altogether?
Arguments:
I.Yes. It is very much necessary to do so to restore ecological balance.
II.No. A total ban would harm timber based industries.
                        
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

Answer: Option E
Explaination:

 


Clearly, trees play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and so must be preserved. So, argument I holds. Also, trees form the basic source of timber and a complete ban on cutting of trees would harm timber based industries. So, only a controlled cutting of trees should be allowed and the loss replenished by planting more trees. So, argument II is also valid.
