Catalytic Converters:
I: | use expensive metals like Gold & Tungsten as catalysts |
II: | convert unburnt hydrocarbons to CO2 and H2O, CO to CO2 and NO to N2 |
III: | are deactivated by Lead |
1. only I & II are correct
2. only I & III are correct
3. Only II & III are correct
4. I, II & III are correct
