Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 1 and 3
1) LNG is produced by cooling natural gas to −162 °C and stored/transported in cryogenic, slightly pressurised tanks—so statement 1 is accepted as correct. 2) India’s first LNG import terminal was set up at Dahej (Gujarat) by Petronet LNG, not at Hassan, so statement 2 is wrong. 3) Ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline are Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) separated during gas processing (not from LPG), but the list of components is correct and UPSC treated the statement as correct. Therefore only statements 1 and 3 are correct → option (b). ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-2005-solved-question-paper/?utm_source=openai))
