Solution

The correct options are
A 2Cu2O+Cu2S6Cu+SO2
C 2Cu2S+3O22Cu2O+2SO2
The sulphide ore of copper is heated in the air until a part is converted to oxide and then further heating in the absence of air to let the oxide react with unchanged sulphide.

Self-reduction of CuS to Cu can be carried out in either Bessemer converter or Pierce-Smith converter.
