Solution
This statement is True.
Correct Statement:
The calorific value of a fuel refers to the amount of energy released when a given amount of fuel is completely burned. The greater the calorific value, the more energy is produced per unit of fuel, making it more efficient. Therefore, a fuel with a higher calorific value is considered better because it can provide more energy for the same amount of consumption.
