  10. I dont think there is any specific method.. :/ why you so confused..??its simple....on the above (3rd) question the statement is "Should the sole evidence of rape victims be supposed enough to prove the guilt" so first argument true ho sakta hai ki yes sole evidence is enough for such a heinous crime BUT AT THE SAME TIME hme doosra point bhi dekhna hai i.e. conviction of innocent...so we can conclude that dono point strong hai but ek sath co related nahi balki alag alag so..its either I or II..hope you will get my point... let me explain you with another example in my next comment

  11. Statmnt: Should new big industries be started in Mumbai?
    Arg:
    I)Yes. It will create job opportunities.
    II)No. It will further add to the pollution of the city.
    in this ques the ans would be Either Ist or 2nd..lemme explain why.. :)
    We know opening up of new industries is advantageous in opening more employment avenues AND disadvantageous too in that it adds to the pollution.So,here either of the arguments holds strong. :)
