A Correct answer
Explanation

Metals combined with other substances to make them stronger, harder, lighter, or better in some other way. An alloy like this will form only if the atoms of the base metal and those of the alloying agent are of roughly similar size. In most substitution alloys, the constituent elements are quite near one another in the periodic table. 

Corinthian bronze, is an alloy of copper with gold or silver.
Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum.

Which of the following metals are present in Devarda alloy?

  1. $Cu$
  2. $Al$
  3. $Zn$
  4. $Ag$

A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Devarda's alloy is  an alloy of aluminium (44% – 46%), copper (49% – 51%) and zinc (4% – 6%).

Devarda's alloy is used as reducing agent in analytical chemistry for the determination of nitrates after their reduction to ammonia under alkaline conditions.

Hence option A,B and C are correct.
