Statement : Should there be more than one High Court in each state in India? Arguments : I. No. This will be a sheer wastage of taxpayers' money. II. Yes. This will help reduce the backlog of cases pending for a very long time.

A.
Only argument I is strong
B.
Only argument II is strong
Answer
C.
Either I or II is strong
D.
Neither I nor II is strong
E.
Both I and II are strong

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Clearly, an increase in the number of High Courts will surely speed up the work and help to do away with the pending cases. So, argument II holds strong. In light of this, the expenditure incurred would be 'utilization', not 'wastage' of money. So, argument I does not hold.
