Q. A modern submarine uses which fuel?

A
Petrol
B
Diesel
C
Nuclear fuel
D
Coal
Solution:

Nuclear generators need no oxygen, so a nuclear sub can stay underwater for weeks at a time. Also, because nuclear fuel lasts much longer than diesel fuel (years), a nuclear submarine does not have to come to the surface or to a port to refuel and can stay at sea longer.
