• A. $ C_{7}-C_{12} $
• B. $ C_{2}-C_{5} $
• C. $ C_{6}-C_{11} $
• D. none of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The process of obtaining useful fractions with different boiling ranges and free from undesirable temperature is known as refining of crude oil. The various fractions obtained have different number $C$-atoms
Petroleum ether $=C_{5}-C_{7}$
Gasoline $C _{7}- C _{12}$
Kerosene $C_{12}-C_{15}$
Gas oil, fuel oil, diesel $C_{15}-C_{18}$
