Q. According to latest estimates, India's wind power potential is 302 Gigawatts, but till now, we have been able to harness only a little above 31 Gigawatts.

1. Developed resources
2. Potential resource
3. Stocks
4. Reserves

Q. Choose the correct option
Statement 1- Potential resources are the subset of the stock, which can be put into use with the help of existing technical ‘know-how’ but their use has not been started.
Statement 2- Reserve is a type of natural resource that exists in a region and may be used in the future.
