Argument 1 - directly contradicts the given statement. If marks are reducing because of objective question then cutoffs will decrease, not increase.
Argument 2 - correct. In objective marks, you get full marks if you know the answer. In subjective, even after knowing the answer, you may not get full marks because of writing mistake which will reduce the cutoff. Therefore, in objective system cutoffs are higher.
