Question

Petroleum fuels are cleaner fuels as they release less pollutants during combustion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Petroleum fuels are the fossil fuels that have been formed from dead remains of sea organisms that got buried under sand and rocks over millions of years. Petrol, diesel and kerosene are petroleum fuels.
• Petrol and diesel are primarily used in automobiles as fuel. Kerosene is used in lamps and cooking stoves.
• Burning of these fuels releases heat energy and a large amount of carbon dioxide, smoke and water vapour, which cause air pollution.
• Petroleum fuels are not cleaner fuels as they release a large number of pollutants during combustion.

Hence, the given statement is false.
