    Question

    Each question given below consists of a statement,

    followed by two arguments numbered I and II. You have to decide which of the arguments is a 'strong' argument and which is a 'weak' argument. Statement: Should companies adopt a four-day workweek policy without reducing employee salaries? Arguments: I. Yes, because studies have shown that a four-day workweek increases employee productivity, reduces burnout, and improves overall job satisfaction. II. No, because shifting to a four-day workweek may reduce customer service availability and affect operations in industries that require round-the-clock support.
    A Only argument I is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only argument II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Either I or II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Neither I nor II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Both I and II are strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The statement asks whether companies should implement a four-day workweek without cutting salaries. Argument I supports the idea, stating that it boosts productivity and well-being. This is a strong argument, as it is backed by research and focuses on positive outcomes for employees and companies alike. Argument II opposes the idea, citing practical concerns in sectors where constant service is essential. This is also a strong argument, as operational limitations are a valid concern in certain industries (e.g., healthcare, customer support, etc.). Since both arguments are logically sound, consider important and relevant implications, and address different perspectives (employee well-being vs business continuity), both are strong.
