Solution

The correct option is A True

Understanding the concept:

  • Those substances that give energy on heating are combustible.
  • For example, petrol, wood, diesel, etc are some examples of combustible substances, and the process is called combustion.

Explanation of CNG and LPG:

  • The full form of LPG is liquified petroleum gas and CNG is a compressed natural gas.
  • For heating and cooking, some homes use (CNG), which is gas held at high pressure.
  • For small vehicles that require high fuel efficiency, CNG is indeed a cost-effective and ecologically beneficial transportation fuel.
  • LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) is a flammable gas that is extensively used in domestic heating, cooking, and hot water systems, as well as in automobiles, agriculture, and manufacturing.
  • Therefore both CNG and LPG produce energy by burning.

Thus LPG and CNG are combustible substances is the correct statement.
