Statement: Should new universities be established in India?
Arguments:
- No. We have still not achieved the target for literacy.
- No. We will have to face the problem of unemployed but highly qualified people.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, instead of improving upon higher education, increasing the literacy rate should be heeded first. So, argument I holds. Also, more number of universities will produce more degree holders with the number of jobs remaining the same, thus increasing unemployment. So, argument II also holds strong.

How can answer A suit the argument? Because the statement indirectly mean to say that if In case it becomes such a condition that we could never attain that amount of literacy, than acc to statement we could never be able to open a university, so that make the argument vague. I would mark B as the answer.

Also increasing university means increasing more education and ideas in society which ultimately going to lead into raising employment in society.
Just for a vague threat of increasing unemployment we can deny increasing demand of education with increasing population.

It is not necessary that opening of new universities will not help in improving the higher education.
Also, it does not mean that if the universities will impart education to more no of people, we do not train our manpower only because of the threat that it will increase unemployment.
