Solution

The correct option is C

Process A is a physical change but B is a chemical change.


Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exists as a liquid inside the cylinder. This liquid LPG changes into gas when it comes out, denoted by change-A. This is a reversible change as gaseous LPG can be converted into liquid LPG. So this is a physical change.

However gaseous LPG burns, denoted by change-B. This is an irreversible change since it alters the chemical composition of LPG. Hence this is a chemical change.
