Question 41.

Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.

Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy and aerogenerator can convert it into electricity. Through not much has

so far been done in this field, the survey shows that there is a vast potential for developing wind as an alternative 

source of energy. The wind survey has four components -- direction, duration, speed and distribution.

On this basis U P. hill areas have been found an ideal place for setting up aerogenerators. In U.P. hills alone, as 

many as 58 sites have been identified.

  • Wind, as a source of energy, can replace exhaustible sources of energy.


  1.    Definitely false

  3.    Probably true
  4.    Probably false
  5.    Definitely true
 Discuss Question

Question 43.

Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions.

Wind is an inexhaustible source of energy and aerogenerator can convert it into electricity. Through not much has

so far been done in this field, the survey shows that there is a vast potential for developing wind as an alternative 

source of energy. The wind survey has four components -- direction, duration, speed and distribution.

On this basis U P. hill areas have been found an ideal place for setting up aerogenerators. In U.P. hills alone, as 

many as 58 sites have been identified.

  • Only the hilly areas of U.P. were surveyed for setting up aerogenerators


  1.    Data inadequate
  2.    Definitely true
  3.    Probably false
  4.    Definitely false
  5.    Probably true
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Probably false

It ia mentioned in the passage that the wind survey showed that there is a vast

potential for harnessing wind energy This means that an overall survey must have

been made and not only of the hilly areas of U.P.
