b) exhaustible and inexhaustible?
Are the options given in (a) and (b) the same?
a) Sources of energy which can be regenerated are called renewable sources of energy whereas the sources of energy which cannot be regenerated are called non-renewable sources of energy.
Renewable sources: Sun (solar energy), biomass, wind energy, etc
Non-renewable sources: Coal, petroleum, etc
b) Energy sources which will be exhausted in coming years are called exhaustible sources of energy whereas energy sources which will not be exhausted or disappear in some years are called inexhaustible sources of energy.
Exhaustible sources: Coal, petroleum, etc
Inexhaustible sources: Sun (solar energy), biomass, wind energy, etc
Yes, both a) and b) are almost the same.
