Statement: Should the practice of transfers of clerical cadre employees from government offices of one city to those of another be stopped? Arguments: I. No. Transfer of employees is a routine administrative matter and we must continue it. II. Yes. It involves lot of governmental expenditure and inconvenience too many compared to the benefits it yields. Answer: Neither I nor II is strong

It is not necessary that any practice which has been in vogue for a long time is right and it must be continued. So, argument I is not strong. Also, a practice must be continued or discontinued in view of its merits/demerits and not on grounds of the expenditure or procedures it entails. The policy of transfer is generally practised to do away with corruption, which is absolutely essential. So, argument II also does not hold.
