Directions: The question consists of a statement and two conclusions. Choose the appropriate option after reading the statements carefully. Statements: Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy, and an aerogenerator can convert it into electricity. Though not much has been done in this field, the survey shows that there is vast potential for developing wind as an alternative source of energy. Conclusions: I. Wind energy is a comparatively newly emerging field. II. The energy crisis can be dealt with by exploring more in the field of aerogeneration.

1. Only conclusion I follows
2. Both I and II follow
3. Either I or II follows
4. Neither I nor II follows

Correct answer: Both I and II follow

Solution

The statement says not much has been done in this field and there is vast potential, which supports conclusion I. Since wind energy is presented as an alternative source of energy, exploring it further can help address the energy crisis, so conclusion II also follows.
