You seem to be confused about the difficulty level of LLB and CA courses right? Nobody can tell you with surety which course is easier but rather you have to assess the same on the basis of your interests and passions. If you have this feeling that you're made for reading, interpretation, logical reasoning and argumentation, you might find LLB relatively easier and more fun to study.
But if you have a strong inclination towards numbers, financial analysis, problem solving with quantitative data and can dive into technical study, you might find CA more suited to your interests and hence easier than the LLB course.
