Question

Assertion (A): Natural gas is an eco-friendly fuel.

Reason (R): It is lighter than air and tends to dissipate in case of leakage.

Options

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

Explanation:

Natural gas is eco-friendly because it burns cleanly and produces less pollution compared to other fossil fuels. It is also lighter than air and disperses quickly if leaked, making it relatively safer. However, this property does not explain why it is eco-friendly.
