Right Answer is: A
SOLUTION
Statement : British Petroleum (Petroleum Industry Company) should be allowed by the government to install petrol pumps in India
Arguments :
1) Yes, it will create employment opportunities for Indians → Clearly, this argument supports the statement because allowing British petroleum to install a petrol pump in India will create employment opportunities for Indians.
2) No, it will harm other private petroleum companies → In the statement not mentioned the pricing of petrol so, allowing some other company will create employment and it will benefit the economy of Indian in long term. Thus, it is not a strong argument.
Hence, 'only argument I is strong' is the correct answer.
