Statement: Should India make efforts to harness solar energy to fulfil its energy requirements?
Arguments:
- Yes, Most of the energy sources used at present is exhaustible.
- No. Harnessing solar energy requires a lot of capital, which India lacks in.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
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.

According to me both reasons are strong enough. We cannot assume that solar energy is a cheap source of energy since it is nowhere mentioned in the argument.

Both the statements are strong as Solar energy requires a huge capital to be harnessed though after it has been deployed it provides cheapest form of energy.

I agree with @Ketan. Both are strong. But the way it was answered shows that GK was involved. The statement mentions nothing about the cost of solar energy.

Solar energy is not a cheapest form. The capital investment is huge ..... as solar cell cost is very high, it is not affordable

According to me both arguments should be strong. Not as a point of gk but yet we can't neglect any of one.

That require huge capital to build solar cells initially.
That require huge capital to build solar cells initially.

Both are strong, implementing a solar power plant needs huge amount of investment.

Merely stating that India lacks capital isn't a strong argument.
