Absolutely right, because heavier API gravity indicate a lower crude oil.

Yes, gosoline will be the correct answer.

Gasoline is correct because lighter products have high API.

Right answer is gasolene because lighter product API gravity will be maximum and heavier pdt API gravity will be minimum.

Gasoline is lightest among the options, so API of gasoline is highest As the paraffin content is high in gasoline, its specific gravity is low and it has the max API.

Gasoline answer is right due to gasoline specific gravity .75 to .85 Kg/l.
So,
°API = (141.5/SPGR)- 131.5.
Very low SPGR of gasoline there also option.
So,
°API = (141.5/SPGR)- 131.5.
Very low SPGR of gasoline there also option.

The correct answer is Gasoline. Specific gravity depends on upon the type of hydrocarbon present. ie for aromatics, Sp.Gravity is high; and for paraffin's, Sp.Gravity is low.
As the paraffin content is high in gasoline, its specific gravity is low and it has the max API.
As the paraffin content is high in gasoline, its specific gravity is low and it has the max API.

Gasoline have more API gravity and lowest density among the given list of distillates.
