Solution

The correct option is A 1, 2
Water gas and producer gas are very important industrial fuels.
Water gas is a mixture of CO and $H_{2}$ and producer gas is a mixture of CO and $N_{2}$ .
Water gas is prepared by passing steam over hot coke.
$C (s) + H_{2} O (g) 473 - 1273 K ⟶ C O (g) + H_{2} (g)$

Producer gas is prepared by passing air over hot coke instead of steam
$2 C (s) + O_{2} (g) + 4 N_{2} (g) 1273 K ⟶ 2 C O (g) + 4 N_{2} (g)$
Hence, option 1 is correct.
