Answer 2

Answer:

It is usually advised not to switch on or off any of the electric switches if you detect a gas leakage. It is because the fumes of gas are highly flammable and even smallest of sparks can ignite a huge fire. The electric switches have small internal sparks when switched on or off due to connecting/disconnecting a circuit. Therefore in order to prevent these sparks from igniting the gas fumes in air, it is highly recommended not to switch on or off the electric switches.
