    Which of the following faels is an ideal fuel?

    A)  P                                           

    B)  Q   

    C)  R                                           

    D)  S

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      There are several factors which are considered while choosing a fuel. A good fuel should have high calorific value and a low ignition temperature. However, the ignition temperature must not be lower than room temperature (so that it does not catch fire at room temperature). Fuel Q is adequate because it has high calorific value and low ignition temperature. The correct answer is B.
