Question

Statement : Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfill its energy requirements ?
Arguments :
I. Yes. Most of the energy sources used at present are exhaustible.
II. No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks in.

• A. Only argument I is strong
• B. Only argument II is strong
• C. Either I or II is strong
• D. Neither I nor II is strong

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only argument I is strong

Clearly, harnessing solar energy will be helpful as it is an inexhaustible resource unlike other resources. So, argument I holds. But argument II is vague as solar energy is the cheapest form of energy.
