Solution

The correct answer is option (ii) Process – B is a chemical change.
Process – B is a chemical change, Because, as the LPG burns, it gives out energy and also gases like Carbon dioxide. As there is a new compound formed after this process it is called a chemical change.
Whereas Process-A is a physical change because only the physical state of LPG gas changes from liquid to gas state.
