Which of the following fuels has calorific value equal to petrol? A. Methane B. Kerosene C. CNG D. LPG

Methane
Kerosene
CNG
LPG

The correct answer is C. CNG.

The calorific value of a fuel is the amount of heat energy released when one unit of the fuel is burned. The calorific value of petrol is 43.2 MJ/kg. The calorific values of methane, kerosene, and LPG are 50.0 MJ/kg, 46.2 MJ/kg, and 46.1 MJ/kg, respectively. Therefore, CNG has the highest calorific value among the given options.

Methane is a gas that is lighter than air and is used as a fuel in natural gas vehicles. Kerosene is a liquid fuel that is used in jet engines and diesel engines. LPG is a gas that is lighter than air and is used as a fuel in cooking and heating appliances.

CNG is a better fuel than petrol because it has a higher calorific value, it is cleaner burning, and it produces fewer emissions.
