The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To solve this problem, we need to consider the effects of different substances on the combustion process of oil lamps:
- Lamp A: The incense stick E is dipped in oil and placed on Lamp A. Oil is a flammable substance that aids combustion. However, when the wick is soaked with excess oil, it doesn't allow sufficient air to mix with the fuel, thereby hindering the combustion process. Consequently, Lamp A will be put off.
- Lamp B: The incense stick F is dipped in petrol and placed on Lamp B. Petrol is highly volatile and combusts easily, enhancing the burning process and increasing brightness. Therefore, Lamp B will glow bright.
- Lamp C: The incense stick G is dipped in water and placed on Lamp C. Water is a combustion inhibitor, and it cools down the wick, disrupting the combustion process. Hence, Lamp C will be put off.
Thus, the correct conclusion is that A will be put off, B will glow bright and C will be put off.
