The correct Answer is:
To answer the question regarding the advantages of liquid and gaseous fuels over solid fuels, we can analyze each statement provided and determine their correctness step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calorific Value**: - **Statement**: "Calorific value of liquid and gaseous fuels is higher than the solid fuels." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Liquid and gaseous fuels generally have a higher calorific value, meaning they produce more energy per unit when burned compared to solid fuels. 2. **Ignition Temperature**: - **Statement**: "Liquid and gaseous fuels have higher ignition temperatures than the solid fuels." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In fact, liquid and gaseous fuels usually have lower ignition temperatures than solid fuels, which means they ignite more easily. 3. **Storage**: - **Statement**: "Liquid and gaseous fuels are easier to store since solid fuels occupy a lot of space." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Liquid and gaseous fuels require less space for storage compared to solid fuels, making them more convenient to handle. 4. **Combustion Residue**: - **Statement**: "Liquid and gaseous fuels burn completely, leaving no residue." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Liquid and gaseous fuels typically burn more completely than solid fuels, which can leave ash and other residues. ### Conclusion: Based on the analysis: - **Correct Advantages**: - Statement 1 (Calorific value is higher) is correct. - Statement 2 (Higher ignition temperature) is incorrect. - Statement 3 (Easier to store) is correct. - Statement 4 (Burn completely, leaving no residue) is correct. Thus, the correct advantages are statements 1, 3, and 4. ### Final Answer: The correct advantages are: 1. Calorific value of liquid and gaseous fuels is higher than the solid fuels. 3. Liquid and gaseous fuels are easier to store since solid fuels occupy a lot of space. 4. Liquid and gaseous fuels burn completely, leaving no residue.
