Detailed Solution

Concept- Liquefied petroleum gas is referred to as LPG, and compressed natural gas is referred to as CNG.
LPG is often produced by refining petroleum or extracting wet natural gas from reservoirs. It primarily consists of butane (

) and propane (

).
As LPG cylinders and pipelines, it is frequently used in kitchens. In residences, it is also utilised for central heating and water heating. LPG weighs a lot more than air does.
CNG is a gaseous fuel that can be found in methane, coal, natural gas, and other types of wells. The primary component is CH4 methane.
CNG is methane that has been under high pressure (20-25 MPa). Because it disperses quickly into the air, it is utilised as a fuel in cars, trains, and as an aerosol in rockets.
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
