Statement: Is buying things on instalments profitable to the customer?
Arguments:
- Yes. He has to pay less.
- No, paying instalments upsets the family budget.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In buying things on instalments, a customer has to pay more as the interest is also included. So, argument I does not hold. Moreover, one who buys an item on instalments maintains his future budget accordingly as he is well acquainted with when and how much he has to pay, beforehand. So, argument II is also not valid.

Both statements are strong because everyone cannot buy it on full payment.

If the family budget is disturbed, it leads to larger problems that span the entire family, the very fact that a customer chooses to pay in installments show that his/her financial situation is just stable, and paying in installments can affect necessary purchases and services.
