Statement: Are nuclear families better than joint families?
Arguments:
- No. Joint families ensure security and also reduce the burden of work.
- Yes. Nuclear families ensure greater freedom.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, with so many people around in a joint family, there is more security. Also, work is shared. So, argument I holds. In nuclear families, there are lesser number of people and so lesser responsibilities and more freedom. Thus, II also holds.

I think only argument one is correct. Nuclear families also have the same type and number of tasks. So, lesser number of people cannot mean lesser responsibilities and more freedom.
