Given below are two statements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Statement I:Biodiesel can reduce sulphur emissions significantly in comparison to gasoline.
Statement II:The energy density of biodiesel is much less than that of ethanol.
ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
CStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect ✓ Correct
DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer: (C) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Explanation
Biodiesel contains very little sulphur and can cut sulphur emissions sharply compared with gasoline.
Statement 1 about this reduction in sulphur emissions is accurate.
Biodiesel actually carries a higher energy density than ethanol per unit volume.
Statement 2 claiming biodiesel has much lower energy density than ethanol is false.
Ethanol holds less energy per litre, which is why biodiesel outperforms it on this measure.
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils or animal fats through transesterification.
