Statement: Should all the drugs patented and manufactured in Western countries be first tried out on sample basis before giving licence for sale to general public in India?
Arguments:
- Yes. Many such drugs require different doses and duration for Indian population and hence it is necessary.
- No. This is just not feasible and hence cannot be implemented.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, health of the citizens is an issue of major concern for the Government. So, a product like drugs, must be first studied and tested in the Indian context before giving licence for its sale. So, only argument I holds strong.

Argument 1 is strong because it is said in favor of health of citizens of country. Since argument speaks in favor of welfare of the country it is a strong argument.
Argument 2 could have been correct if it had been elaborated why it is not feasible.
Thus only Argument 1 is strong.
Argument 2 could have been correct if it had been elaborated why it is not feasible.

Argument 1 is not right as the drugs (medications) already patented and manufactured in Western countries must have been tested by their authorities such as FDA and deemed safe.
For argument 1 to make sense, there has to be that Indians are fundamentally different from other country people and unique so that they would react differently from any other nationality. While the health of the people must be a priority of the Indian government, that is not relevant argument that they have do test that other countries already did. Prove me that Indians are physically so different from others that these kinds of tests are necessary.

Answer is II because drugs are tested before patented and manufacturing, so no need to test them before giving licensing in India.

But if the drugs are patented and manufactured in Western countries, shouldn't it have already undergone numerous clinical trials as to be manufactured it has to be tested and examined to be safe for use?

Why not E?
As statement 2 is also strong.
If it is not feasible. How can such statement be ignored?

@Archna.
You didn't get the sense of the question, it is not signifying that drugs be sold without license instead it is questioning the licensing procedure where by license would be given only after testing and studying, not liberally like at present.

It is not possible to use drug without giving licence in India so argument II is correct.
