CGPSC 2012 · Question 13 of 66

Q13. Direction (Q. 13): A statement is followed by two arguments numbered I and II. Decide which of the arguments is a strong argument and which is a weak argument. Statement: Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfil its energy requirement? 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.

Logical Reasoning

  1. AOnly argument I is strongCorrect
  2. BOnly argument II is strong
  3. CBoth of the arguments I and II are strong
  4. DNeither argument I nor argument II is strong
  5. ENone of these

Answer: A. Only argument I is strong

Explanation

Argument I is strong (exhaustible sources justify solar investment); argument II is weak (capital constraint is not an insurmountable, decisive objection).
