Solution

No, an LPG cylinder cannot be half-filled.
Gases are Highly Compressible therefore LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is used in our home for cooking.
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is stored in cylinders at high pressure. They occupy the complete volume of the cylinder.
Even if the cylinder is half-filled, gas occupies a full volume of the cylinder. So an LPG cylinder can't be half-filled.
