Statement: Should public holidays be declared on demise of important national leaders?
Arguments:
- No. Such unscheduled holidays hamper national progress.
- Yes. People would like to pay their homage to the departed soul.
Answer: Option

Clearly, unscheduled and untimely holidays would naturally cause the work to suffer. So, argument I holds strong. Also, a holiday is not necessary to pay homage to someone. So, argument II is vague.

But you can say argument I is not weak but still it is not strong enough because impact of those holidays on national progress is very little.
