CMAT 2025 · Logical Reasoning · Easy · Logical Reasoning

The following question consists of a statement and two arguments I and II. Choose the best option.

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

  1. A.

    Only Argument I is strong

  2. B.

    Only Argument II is strong

  3. C.

    Neither Argument I nor II is strong

  4. D.

    Both Arguments I and II are strong

Answer

A

Explanation

Argument I is strong because current primary energy sources (fossil fuels) are finite/exhaustible, making renewable energy imperative. Argument II is weak because solar technology cost has reduced significantly and financial constraints should not prevent essential energy transitions.
