Hindi ought to be the official language of India. There is no reason for the government to spend money printing documents in different languages, just to cater to people who cannot read/write Hindi. The government has better ways to spend tax payers’ money. People across India should read/write Hindi or learn it at the earliest.
[1] Which of the following, if true, would weaken the speaker’s argument the most?
(A) The government currently translates official documents into more than eighteen languages.
(B) Hindi is the most difficult language in the world to speak.
(C) Most people who travel across India learn Hindi within five years.
(D) Making Hindi the official language is a politically unpopular idea.
(E) People who are multilingual usually pay maximum taxes.[2] United Nations members contribute funds, proportionate to their population, for facilitating smooth functioning of the UN. By 2010, India, being the most populous nation on the planet, would contribute the maximum amount to the UN. Therefore, official language of United Nations should be changed to Hindi.
Which of the following is true?
(A) The point above contradicts the speaker’s argument.
(B) The point above extends the speaker’s argument.
(C) The point above is similar to speaker’s argument.
(D) The point above concludes speaker’s argument.
(E) The point above strengthens the speaker’s argument.asked in XAT

According to recent reports, CEOs of large organisations are paid more than CEOs of small organisations. It does not seem fair that just because a CEO is heading a big organisation s/he should be paid more. CEOs’ salary should be related to performance, especially growth in terms of sales and profits. Of course, big organisations are more complex than the small, but all CEOs require significant amount of energy and time in managing organisations. There is no proof that CEOs of big organisations are more stressed than CEOs of small organisations. All CEOs should be paid according to their performance.
[1] A person seeking to refute the argument might argue that
(A) CEOs should be paid equally.
(B) Managing big organisation is more challenging than small.
(C) CEOs, who travel more should be paid more.
(D) If CEOs of small companies perform well, the company would become big and so would be CEOs’ salary.
(E) Highly qualified CEOs should be paid more because they have acquired difficult education.[2] Which of the following, if true, would strengthen the speaker’s argument?
(A) CEOs of small organisations come from good educational background.
(B) CEOs of big organisations are very difficult to hire.
(C) A few big family businesses have CEOs from within the family.
(D) Big organisations contribute more towards moral development of society.
(E) CEOs in big organisation take much longer to reach top, as compared to their counterparts in small organisations.asked in XAT
