II. No. It will be an injustice to the monumental human resources which are at present under utilized.

III. No. Computerization demands a lot of money. We should not waste money on it.

Options:

I and II both are strong argument

Only I is strong argument

Only II is strong argument

Only III is strong argument

Correct Answer:

Only I is strong argument

Explanation:

Argument I, "Yes. It will bring efficiency and accuracy in the work." is a strong argument because it provides a clear benefit of computerization, which is a relevant consideration for deciding whether to adopt computerization.

Argument II, "No. It will be an injustice to the monumental human resources which are at present under utilized." is a weak argument because it does not provide a logical connection between the issue of underutilization of human resources and the decision to computerize.

Moreover, it assumes that computerization would lead to the layoff of human resources, which may not necessarily be the case.

Argument III, "No. Computerization demands a lot of money. We should not waste money on it." is also a weak argument because it focuses on the cost of computerization rather than its benefits or drawbacks.

It does not provide any evidence to support the claim that the cost outweighs the benefits.

Thus, only Argument I provides a strong reason to support or reject the statement.
