Question

Match the following petroleum by-products and the number of carbon atoms present in them.

$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Petroleum product}& \text{Number of carbon atoms present}\\ \text{Uncondensed gases}& 1\text{to}4\\ \text{Diesel}& 5\text{to}9\\ \text{Paraffin wax}& 10\text{to}16\\ \text{Petrol}& 16\text{to}18\\ \text{Kerosene}& 22\text{to}30\end{array}$$

• A. a$\Rightarrow$i, b$\to$iv, c$\to$v, d$\to$ii, e$\to$iii
• B. a$\Rightarrow$ii, b$\to$v, c$\to$iv, d$\to$i, e$\to$ii
• C. a$\Rightarrow$iii, b$\to$i, c$\to$iii, d$\to$ii, e$\to$iv
• D. a$\Rightarrow$ii, b$\to$v, c$\to$i, d$\to$iii, e$\to$iv

Answer 1

The correct option is A

a$\Rightarrow$i, b$\to$iv, c$\to$v, d$\to$ii, e$\to$iii

The table given below shows the list of petroleum byproducts with the number of carbon atoms they possess:
$$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Petroleum product}& \text{Number of carbon atoms present}\\ \text{Uncondensed gases}& 1\text{to}4\\ \text{Diesel}& 16\text{to}18\\ \text{Paraffin wax}& 22\text{to}30\\ \text{Petrol}& 5\text{to}9\\ \text{Kerosene}& 10\text{to}16\end{array}$$
