Assertion (A): Rajasthan has infinite potential for solar energy development.
Reason (R): Bhadla Solar Park is Rajasthan’s largest solar power plant with capacity of 2,245 MW.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b)
Explanation:
• Assertion (A) is true because Rajasthan has the highest solar radiation in India, vast desert land, and extremely high solar insolation—giving it huge (often described as “infinite”) potential for solar energy.
• Reason (R) is also true since Bhadla Solar Park (Jodhpur district) is one of the world’s largest solar parks with 2,245 MW capacity.
• However, Bhadla’s capacity does NOT explain Rajasthan’s infinite solar potential, which is based on geography and climate, not on the existence of a single solar park.
• Therefore, both statements are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
• Hence, option (b) is correct.
Information Booster:
• Rajasthan contributes a major share to India’s renewable energy capacity.
• High solar irradiation (~5.72 kWh/m²/day) makes it ideal for large-scale solar installations.
