Coal engines are a major source of air pollution, and air pollution is a serious health hazard. Argument II is also strong because it is based on evidence. Electric engines are more efficient than coal engines, and they produce less pollution. However, argument III is weak because it is based on an assumption. The assumption is that India does not produce enough electricity to fulfill its domestic needs. However, this assumption is not necessarily true. India is a major producer of electricity, and it is possible that India could produce enough electricity to power electric trains.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, only argument I is strong.
