Which of the following mixture of gases is required in gas welding?

  • A. Oxygen and ethylene
  • B. Oxygen and hydrogen
  • C. Acetylene and oxygen
  • D. Acetylene and hydrogen

Explanation

Gas welding commonly uses acetylene burned in oxygen because the oxyacetylene flame reaches a very high temperature. Hydrogen and oxygen can burn, but they are not the standard gas-welding mixture intended here.
