The correct answer is
Liquefied Petroleum Gas
LPG Full Form: Liquefied Petroleum Gas
The question asks for the correct full form of the abbreviation LPG.
- Option B: Liquefied Petroleum Gas is the correct full form of LPG.
Reasoning:
LPG is a common fuel. The term refers to a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, primarily propane and butane, that are liquified under pressure for storage and transport.
- The 'L' in LPG specifically stands for Liquefied, indicating the state of the gas under pressure.
- The 'P' stands for Petroleum, derived from crude oil refining processes.
- The 'G' stands for Gas.
Therefore, the correct expansion is Liquefied Petroleum Gas.
Incorrect Options Analysis:
- Option 1 (Liquid Petroleum Gas): Incorrect because 'Liquid' is not the precise term; 'Liquefied' describes the state change due to pressure.
- Option 3 (Liquid Petrol Gas): Incorrect because 'Petrol' is not the standard term used in the abbreviation LPG; 'Petroleum' is correct. Also, 'Liquid' is imprecise.
- Option 4 (Liquided Petrol Gas): Incorrect because 'Liquided' is not a standard English word in this context, and 'Petrol' is incorrect.
