Q62

Which one of the following products is not obtained from Petroleum ?

  1. (1) Kerosene oil
  2. (2) Wax
  3. (3) Grease
  4. (4) Jatropa oilCorrect answer

Solution.

CBSE answer: (4)

Answer: (4) Jatropha oil

  1. Kerosene, paraffin wax and grease are all separated or made from crude petroleum in a refinery.
  2. Jatropha oil is pressed from the seeds of the Jatropha plant.
  3. It is a plant oil used to make biodiesel, so it does not come from petroleum.

Trap: Wax sounds natural (beeswax), but the common candle wax is paraffin, a petroleum product.
