Discussion :: Statement and Argument
-
Statement: Should there be a ceiling on the salary of top executives of multinationals in our country?
Arguments:
- Yes. Otherwise it would lead to unhealthy competition and our own industry would not be able to withstand that.
- No. With the accent on liberalization of economy, any such move would be counter-productive. Once the economy picks up, this disparity will be reduced.

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 : Option E
Explanation :
In the absence of such a ceiling, the companies would be involved in a mutual competition of salaries, in a bid to attract the most competent professionals. So, argument I holds. Also, the prospects of increase in salary would encourage the officials to perform better in the interest of the company they serve, which would otherwise not be so if a ceiling is imposed. So, argument II also holds strong.
