Statement : Ragging in colleges is a good practice.

II. No, the tortures inflicted in name of ragging and the humilation suffered by young boys and girls often o beyond limits.

Options:

only argument I is strong

only argument II is strong

Both I and II are strong

Neither I nor II is strong

Correct Answer:

Both I and II are strong

Explanation:

Argument I: "Yes, A sensible ragging helps the college boys to step into manhood and teaches them to take trifles in a good humour."

This argument is flawed because it assumes that ragging is always "sensible" and that it has a positive impact on the individuals involved. In reality, ragging can be harmful and traumatic, and it's not a valid way to teach people to take things in a good humor.

Argument II: "No, the tortures inflicted in name of ragging and the humiliation suffered by young boys and girls often go beyond limits."

This argument is strong because it highlights the potential harm and cruelty that can occur during ragging. It's a realistic concern that needs to be addressed.

Both arguments are relevant, but Argument II is stronger because it focuses on the potential harm and cruelty that can occur during ragging, which is a valid concern.

Argument I is flawed because it assumes that ragging is always positive and helpful, which is not necessarily true.

Thus, "Both I and II are strong" is correct.
