To reduce the use of wood and dung cakes as fuel in rural areas, the government provides subsidised LPG. What is the full form of LPG?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Liquefied Petroleum Gas
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas. It is a mixture of gases, mainly butane and propane, obtained from petroleum and turned into liquid under pressure so that it can be stored in cylinders. It is a cleaner cooking fuel than wood or dung cakes, which give off smoke and harm health.
