2. From October 1, it will be mandatory for oil refineries to blend at least 5% of ethanol with petrol.
The government is enthusiastically pursuing the fuel called Jetrol, which increases efficiency.
Therefore, the problem of fuel prices is also met. The government is very happy about this new

Answer:
The answer is a) The fuel thus produced emits pollutants which are three times more dangerous than that emitted by the existing fuel
Explanation:
The statement directly weakens the argument because the pollutants are said to be three times more dangerous which appears to be a fact.
Answer:
The correct answer is a) The fuel thus produced emits pollutants which are three times more dangerous than that emitted by the existing fuel.
Explanation:
If the government is giving permission to the oil refineries to add 5% ethanol with petrol to improve its efficiency and to solve the budget problem, the government deliberately ignored the fact that this mixture when burnt will emit pollutants which will be three-time more dangerous than the normal petrol emitting pollutants, which will be in turn harmful for our environment and will increase global warming and pollution at a high rate.
