Answer 2

Answer:

Petrol will catch fire first.

Explanation:

Ignition temperature is defined  the temperature which is sufficient to provide the activation energy needed for the combustion reaction of a fuel.

Ignition temperature of petrol is lower than the ignition temperature of wood. So, the activation energy required to initiate the combustion of petrol is lower than the energy required for the combustion of wood.

Hence, petrol catches fire more easily than wood.
