In the above question, the following arguments are given

I. Yes. This is the only way to teach discipline to the employees.

II. No. Government cannot deprive its citizens of their basic rights.

III. Yes. This is the only way to ensure maximum productivity without disruption without disruption of work.

A strike is a protest by people to make the state give in to their demands. It can also be to express their agreement or disagreement to a certain idea. In Japan, workers work overtime to show their resentment with the management. On the other hand, in India, they leave all the work and take on the streets to show their discontent. Strikes are used in extreme situations when no other form of negotiation with government work.

Strikes are a form of freedom of expression. But, the Constitution of India provides its citizens with freedom of speech, not freedom of a strike. Instead of solving people’s problems, the government uses gas bombs to disperse the crowd. Such protests have become very common in the country. We recently saw Bharat Bandh for the protest against caste-based reservation in jobs and education. They allow the grieving party to voice their opinions on judgment and decisions by the government which is not in their favor. But can all the decisions be in favor of every person?

Some discussions and rulings are welcome by a set of people and unfavorable for the other set. If there are a billion people in the country, there ought to be at least a million opinions. The government can not fulfill all the million wishes but can make sure each of the billion people gets a chance to fair living. By conducting strikes we are harming our own growth. Strikes slow down the economy, make the growth sluggish, scares away the possible foreign investors with instability.

Also,The production in factories stop, inventories pile up, the transportation sector comes to a halt, the stores are clogged, and the workers have no work to do. They lose on their daily wage which is their bread and butter. They are under threat of losing their jobs. The various resources assigned to take the country forward come to a standstill and lay waste.

Clearly, strike is not a means of indiscipline but only a practice in which the workers exercise their fundamental right to voice their protest against the atrocities of the management. So, argument I is vague while II holds. Also the option of resorting to strikes often aggravates petty issues and disrupts work for long periods, thus affecting productivity. So, III also holds strong.

Hence the correct option is C.

In the above question, the following arguments are given

I. Yes. This will help secure the investor's money as these big bank will be able to withstand intermittent market related shocks.

II. No. A large number of people will lose their jobs as after the merger many employees will be redundant.

III. Yes. This will help consolidate the entire banking industry and will lead to healthy competition.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last came out with a set of guidelines for licensing of new banks in the private sector on February 22, 2013. The process of licensing culminated with the announcement by the RBI vide its Press Release dated April 2,2014 that it would grant “in-principle” approval to two applicants who would set up new banks in the private sector within a period of 18 months.

While preparing these guidelines, the Reserve Bank recognized the need for an explicit policy on banking structure in India keeping in view the recommendations of the Committee on Banking Sector Reforms (Chairman: Shri M. Narasimham) (1998), Committee on Financial Sector Reforms (Chairman: Dr. Raghuram G. Rajan) (2009) and other viewpoints.

Accordingly, the Reserve Bank placed on its website on August 27, 2013 a policy discussion paper on Banking Structure in India – The Way Forward. One of the observations in the discussion paper was that in India, where extending banking services to the underserved and unserved sections of the population is a challenge, there is merit in considering access to bank credit and services through expansion of small banks in unbanked and under-banked regions.

The security of the investor's money is not related to the size of the bank. Besides even after consolidation, the number of investors, their amounts and hence the duties shall remain the same and so no employees will be redundant. Reducing the number of smaller banks will also not affect the mutual competition among the banks. Thus, none of the arguments holds strong.

Hence the correct option is A.

In the above question, the following arguments are given

I. Yes. Coal engines cause a lot of pollution.

II. Yes. Electric engines are good on performance, easy to operate and low on maintenance.

III. No. India does not produce enough electricity to fulfill its domestic needs also.

In the early twentieth century, Americans had to choose a motive power technology when comparison-shopping for new cars. Consumers who were eager to give up horses, walking, or trains as a mode of transportation could choose from many makes of cars. Each make came pre-equipped with a steam engine, an internal-combustion engine that burned gasoline, or electric motors with rechargeable batteries. These three power systems were competitive at first, and it was not clear that any one type would dominate the rapidly growing market.

Energy choices that consumers and manufacturers made between 1900 and 1920 had far-reaching consequences for communities, the environment, and the ways Americans organize their everyday activities. An overwhelming preference for gasoline engines because of their extended range (miles per refueling), flexibility, and superior power-to-weight ratio put more pollutants in the air and eventually required tough measures to reduce emissions. Choosing gasoline-powered cars also accelerated the use of land mass for highways, parking, and development.

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. The steam engine uses the force produced by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. This pushing force can be transformed, by a connecting rod and crank, into rotational force for work.

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

Clearly, electric engines shall be smoke  - free and thus not cause pollution as the coal engines. They also run at higher speeds and perform better. thus, both I and II hold strong. Argument III does not provide a convincing reason and hence not hold strong.

Hence the correct option is B.
