Consider the following statements regarding petroleum:
- The demand for petroleum in India is increasing at an alarming rate.
- Petroleum is mostly used in transportation, industry, domestic work and agriculture sectors in India.
- Improvement in transportation facilities plays an important role in saving petroleum.
Which of the above statement/s is/are correct?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
India's petroleum demand has been climbing fast on the back of rising transport and industrial use (statement 1), and petroleum is consumed across transport, industry, domestic and agricultural sectors (statement 2). Better transport efficiency cuts fuel use, so improving transport facilities does help conserve petroleum (statement 3). All three statements hold.
