Statement & Argument — Should LPG be allowed as fuel for commercial vehicles? Arguments: I. No, petroleum agencies cannot meet even domestic LPG demand satisfactorily. II. No, LPG is not adaptable to the engines commonly used in the country.

Introduction / Context:Fuel policy weighs availability, infrastructure, and compatibility. Strong arguments cite immediate feasibility constraints or proven incompatibilities.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• If domestic LPG supply is already strained, shifting demand to commercial fleets can aggravate shortages.
• Engine adaptability can be addressed with kits when technically feasible; a blanket incompatibility claim requires proof.

Concept / Approach:Argument I addresses a real supply constraint and is therefore strong. Argument II is categorical about incompatibility without evidence; many SI engines can be adapted to LPG with appropriate kits, so as stated it is weak.

Final Answer:Only Argument I is strong.
