Question

Match the type of ceramics given in column I with the correct statements given regarding them in column II.​

Column I	Column II
(a) Porcelain	(i) $Zr{O}_2,Si{O}_2$
(b) Bone china	(ii) Made by adding ash of bone
(c) Advanced ceramics	(iii) Hard, translucent, white in colour

• A. a-(iii); b-(ii); c-(i)
• B. a-(ii); b-(i); c-(iii)
• C. a-(ii); b-(iii); c-(i)​
• D. a-(iii); b-(i); c-(ii)

Answer 1

The correct option is A a-(iii); b-(ii); c-(i)

• Porcelain is a type of ceramics, which is hard, translucent and white in colour. So ‘a’ from column I is matched with ‘iii’ of column II.
• Bone china ceramics are made by adding ash of bone with the clay. So ‘b’ from column I is matched with ‘ii’ of column II.
• Oxides like Zirconia ($Zr{O}_2$) and Silica ($Si{O}_2$) are used instead of clay for making advanced ceramic. So ‘c’ from column I is matched with ‘i’ of column II.
