Find the incorrect match.

  1. Fine duct of aluminium - Paints and Lacquers

  2. Reducing agent in the manufacture of dye-stuffs, paints, etc. - copper dust

  3. For cutting tools and crushing machines - Chrome steel

  4. For making cables, automobiles and aeroplane parts - Nickel steel

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The fine duct of aluminium is used in paints and lacquers. For cutting tools and crushing machines chrome steel is used.

For making cables, automobiles and aeroplane part – nickel steel is used. But copper dust is not used as a reducing agent in the manufacture of dyestuffs and paints. So this second is the mismatch.

Correct option is B.

________ is called a space age metal and used in military jets and spacecrafts.

  1. Zinc

  2. Platinum

  3. Copper

  4. Titanium

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

TItanium is known as the space age metal and  is expected to replace most of the metals used around the industries. However, its expensive and difficult mining process is keeping it from being used so commonly as aluminium or steel. Titanium is found to be stronger, durable and corrosion resistive in comparison to steel. It has the highest strength to weight ratio of all the metals. All these properties, along with its light weight, make it an ideal metal for space crafts and military jets. It is also used in making highly water - resistant diving watches.
