In questions like these where they start throwing around numbers and you scratch your head…"didn't I already do the quant section?". It might help to use a little Plug In.
In a quant math problem we would translate words to numbers, so let's do that here. In 2008, Gotsland used three-times as much energy from non-renewable sources as renewable sources. Well, we can substitute 50 megawatts of renewable energy and 150 megawatts of non-renewable for what we have in 2008 (total of 200 megawatts).
Looking at the next statement Gotsland's proposed ten-year energy plan would result in the country using as much renewable as non-renewable energy by 2018, while using a larger amount of energy than in 2008. Well, this means that in 2018 they will be using more than 200 megawatts AND renewables will be at least 150 (what the current non-renewables are). So it needs to triple its use of renewables.
Now that we have our facts laid out we can review the answer choices.
Gotsland does not need to triple its energy sources (just renewables).
Isn't relevant.
Gotsland doesn't need to decrease its use of non-renewables. It is mathematically possible for it to increase the total usage of total energy. In this scenario, non-renewables remains at 150 and renewables increases to 150 as well.
Yes, Gotsland MUST at least triple its use of non-renewables (to be at least 150 megawatts).
This may be the case, but there is nothing in the question to make this point.
