Statement: LPG subsidy is a stand taken by the government. Linking of Aadhar card to a bank account has been made mandatory for receiving the subsidy.
Argument I: All people should give up LPG subsidies.
Argument II: To fill the gap between poor and rich.
Show Hint
- Argument II is the output of Argument I
- Argument I is a byproduct of Argument II
- Argument I and Argument II are complementing to each other
- No logical link between Argument I and Argument II
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The statement only talks about two things: the government has an LPG subsidy scheme, and Aadhar linking to a bank account is now required to get that subsidy. Nothing in it talks about giving up the subsidy or about rich and poor.
- Argument I (All people should give up LPG subsidies): This is a brand new demand that the statement never raises. The statement is about a linking rule, not about ending the subsidy, so this argument sits outside the scope of the statement.
- Argument II (To fill the gap between poor and rich): The statement never mentions income gaps or any rich versus poor angle, so this argument is also outside its scope.
Since both arguments bring in ideas the statement never supports, and neither argument causes or feeds into the other, there is no logical link between Argument I and Argument II. The correct choice is option D.
