Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows.
It is notable that power major NTPC has joined hands with oil giant IOC to set up a series of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in cities and along highways. There is much potential for India to emerge as a leader in small and public EVs, given high latent demand. The benefits in reducing demand for imported crude oil can be huge, apart from reducing carbon emissions and other air pollutants.
The most effective way to bring down carbon emissions and pollution from transport is to vastly expand and improve public transport — buses are just 2% of the vehicles on the road. That said, there is much scope to replace India’s giant fleet of two-wheelers with electric bikes. India has over 170 million two-wheelers, and sales data from the last six years show that 79% of on-road vehicles here are two-wheelers. It would make perfect sense to boost the supply of EVs, especially two-wheelers, e-rickshaws, tempos and small cars, so as to complement and supplement public transport going forward.
Estimates suggest that by meeting a rising part of the incremental demand for mobility, EVs can lead to macroeconomic benefits, and sooner rather than later.
Assuming only about half a liter of petrol consumption per two-wheeler daily, or about 200 liters annually, the volumes would add up to over 30 billion liters. And the bill for which, at current prices, would amount to well over Rs 2 lakh crore.
In tandem, we need power reforms to rev up utility realizations and strengthen the grid. India also has an opportunity in supplying on-board electric batteries. Swapping services to provide charged batteries on the lease would step-up the diffusion of EVs. A power-electronics industry ecosystem would raise production and provide high-efficiency subsystems for EVs. India must not miss the bus on EVs.
Q. Which of the following is/are true with respect to the two-wheelers in India?
I. India has over 160 million two-wheelers.
II. 79% of on-road vehicles in India are two-wheelers.
III. People prefer two-wheelers to four-wheelers due to ease of use.
Statement I: India has over 160 million two-wheelers.
If the number is over 170 million, it would also be over 160 million.
So, a statement I is valid.
Statement II: 79% of on-road vehicles in India are two-wheelers.
This fact is given in the passage. Hence, statement II is valid.
Statement III: People prefer two-wheelers to four-wheelers due to ease of use.
Nothing regarding the preference of Indians for two-wheelers has been mentioned in the passage. This, hence, makes statement III invalid.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Q. “There is much potential for India to emerge as a leader in small and public EVs, given high latent demand.” What can be logically deducted from the given sentence?
I. Electric vehicles are less in developed countries as compared to India.
II. India has not yet adopted electric vehicles fully.
III. Indians are already demanding a huge number of electric vehicles.
Nothing has been indicated regarding the number of electric vehicles in developed countries. This makes a statement I invalid.
Statement II: India has not yet adopted electric vehicles fully.
This is correct. Since there is scope for adoption of a huge number of EVs, India has the potential to emerge as a global leader in this sector but it has not yet achieved so. Thus, statement II is valid.
Statement III: Indians are already demanding a huge number of electric vehicles.
The demand for electric vehicles in India is still latent, i.e., existing but not yet developed or manifested. This, hence, makes statement III invalid.
Hence, the correct option is (B).
