Using the word "being"...

i read a sentence in newspaper as"LPG cylinders being taken for delivery".

Can we use it as
  • "LPG cylinders are being taken for delivery." OR
  • "LPG cylinders have been taking for delivey" OR
  • "LPG cylinders are been taking for delivery"
in the above all, which are correct, if wrong, please give the reason......

i used to confuse with using the sentences,
have been + present contin. ,
have being . partple ,
are being+past partple. ,
are been + present contin.

please clear me...

I couldn't say what the original phrase means, not enough info. But your sentences 1. means they are being taken now.

But your sentences
1. means they are being taken now.
2. means they have already been taken but your word "taking" should be "taken". ie."..have been taken.."
3. is incorrect. "are been" doesn't work. should be "..are being taken..." as in no.1

"LPG cylinders are being taken for delivery."
"LPG cylinders have been taking for delivey"
"LPG cylinders are been taking for delivery"

It's the first one. The other two are ungrammatical.

are been is not a possible sequence of words in English.

Review how to construct the tenses. You can find this in almost any grammar book.
