Question : 3

Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists:

List-I List-II
A. Limestone 1. Cement
B. Copper 2. Electrical goods
C. Bauxite 3. Manufacture of aeroplanes
D. Manganese 4. Steel

a) 4 3 2 1

b) 2 3 1 4

c) 1 2 3 4

d) 3 4 1 2

Answer: (c)

Manganese is essential to iron and steel production. At present, steel making accounts for 85 to 90% of the total demand, most of the total demand. Manganese is a key component of low-cost stainless steel formulations and certain widely used aluminium alloys.

Limestone can be used in constructing buildings. It can be used for making cement and mortar. Limestone is used to make glass and even used to make roads.

Bauxite is the mineral ore of aluminium which is used in the manufacture of cans, aeroplanes, sporting and electronic equipment and home appliances.

The Wright Brother’s first aeroplane to fly in 1903 only was able to get off the ground because they modified its engine with aluminium in order to reduce its weight. Without the ability of the strong aluminium, alloys to withstand the huge pressures and stresses involved, high-altitude flying would not be conceivable. In fact, aluminium comprises about 80% of an aircraft’s unladen weight.

The element copper is used extensively as an electrical conductor, for the making of electrical wire.

Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

a) 2, 3 and 4

b) 3 and 4

c) 1, 2 and 4

d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer: (c)

Superphosphate is made by treating phosphate rock with concentrated H2SO4.

It is Ca(H2PO4)2 and hence contains calcium, hydrogen, and phosphorous according to the oxide formation method.
