    Statement: The Captain Amarinder Singh-led government

    in Punjab has announced free education for girls in government schools and colleges from Nursery to Ph.D.  I. Good social welfare law. It is initially for girls as they are comparatively disadvantaged. Hopefully, it will soon be followed by free education for everyone. II. It is gender biased if a poor or average person wants to educate his son for higher education he has to pay higher bills. If you are introducing a law/scheme /bill under no circumstance it should not favour any particular gender, if they are concerned about education. III. Do not differentiate a poor or average person on gender. A poor boy or man should also get free education as well. Which of the following arguments holds strong for the given statement?
    A Only I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For I - This argument does not hold strong because this initiative is for girls to get benefited initially but it is not like education will be free for everyone. For II - This argument also holds strong because a law/scheme or bill should not be for any particular gender but it should be for the one who needs it. For III - This is also strong because gender should not be the criterion for free education. It is the poor who should get the benefits.
