Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Which of the following statements is/are correct?
- Compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles require a greater amount of space for fuel storage than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles.
- CNG is stored at low temperature and nearly ambient pressure.
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution (a)
Compressed natural gas is often confused with LNG (liquefied natural gas). Both are stored forms of natural gas. The main difference is that CNG is stored at ambient temperature and high pressure, while LNG is stored at low temperature and nearly ambient pressure. In their respective storage conditions, LNG is a liquid and CNG is a supercritical fluid. CNG has a lower cost of production and storage compared to LNG as it does not require an expensive cooling process and cryogenic tanks.
Compressed natural gas vehicles require a greater amount of space for fuel storage than conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. Since it is a compressed gas, rather than a liquid like gasoline, CNG takes up more space for each GGE (gasoline gallon equivalent).

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD)’
- It was first identified in 1957 in forests of Congo.
- Monkeys are common hosts for Kyasanur forest disease virus (KFDV) after being bitten by an infected tick.
Select the correct statements
Correct
Solution (b)
Kyasanur Forest disease (KFD) is caused by Kyasanur Forest disease virus (KFDV), a member of the virus family Flaviviridae. KFDV was identified in 1957 when it was isolated from a sick monkey from the Kyasanur Forest in Karnataka (formerly Mysore) State, India. Since then, between 400-500 humans cases per year have been reported.
Hard ticks (Hemaphysalis spinigera) are the reservoir of KFD virus and once infected, remain so for life. Rodents, shrews, and monkeys are common hosts for KFDV after being bitten by an infected tick. KFDV can cause epizootics with high fatality in primates.
