Answer
(i) The given picture (i) shows solar panels, and they reduce energy consumption.
Solar panels use renewable solar energy to generate electricity. This reduces dependence on fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas, which consume non-renewable resources and pollute the environment. Solar energy is clean, sustainable, and reduces both energy consumption and pollution.
(ii) The given picture (ii) shows people burning firewood. No, firewood does not reduce energy consumption, rather it substitutes one form of energy with another.
Firewood is burnt to produce heat, where chemical energy stored in wood is consumed to produce heat and light. Although it doesn't use electricity or fossil fuels directly, it still requires energy input (biomass) and therefore does not contribute to energy conservation.
