Answer

(a) "CNG" in the given picture refers to 'Compressed Natural Gas'. It's a form of natural gas that is compressed under high pressure, making it easier to store and transport.

(b) CNG is being used in auto rickshaws because it is generally considered a cleaner and more efficient fuel alternative compared to petrol or diesel. It produces fewer harmful emissions like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides, helping reduce air pollution, especially in crowded urban areas.
