      Question

      A statement is given, followed by two arguments I and

      II. You have to consider the statement and two arguments and decide which of the argument(s) is/are strong. Statement: Should India spend resources on developing renewable sources of energy, such as solar and wind, to fulfil its energy needs?   Argument: I. Yes. The current sources of energy will eventually get depleted completely. II. No. India will have to spend a huge amount of money on developing these sources of renewable energy.
      A Only argument I is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Only argument II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Either argument I or II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Neither argument I nor II is strong Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      If India’s current sources of energy will eventually get depleted, it needs to develop some other sources of energy for the future. Thus, Argument I is strong because it gives a logical reason for developing renewable sources of energy   Just because it will cost a lot of money does not mean India can avoid developing renewable sources of energy. In fact, if it does not do so, it might end up spending even more money trying to make up for the shortfall in the availability of energy from conventional sources. Thus, Argument Il is weak.   Hence, the correct answer is (A).
