  4. A‑3, B‑1, C‑2, D‑4

Explanation

Option (b) is correct
  • The correct matching is: CNG → Methane and Ethane (3), as compressed natural gas consists mainly of methane with small amounts of other hydrocarbons. Coal gas → Hydrogen, Methane and Carbon monoxide (4), since it is produced from the destructive distillation of coal and contains a mixture of combustible gases. LPG → Butane and Propane (2), which are its principal constituents. Water gas → Carbon monoxide and Hydrogen (1), formed by passing steam over red-hot coke
Answer: (b) A‑3, B‑4, C‑2, D‑1
