Question

Statement 1: Cooking utensils are made up of metals whereas their handles are covered with wood/plastic.
Statement 2: Wood/plastic handles facilitate cooking as they are good conductors of heat.

• A. Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true
• B. Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false
• C. Both statements are true
• D. Both statements are false

Answer 1

The correct option is B Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

It is true that cooking utensils are usually made up of metals and their handles are covered with wood/plastic. It is so because, since metals are good conductors of heat, they facilitate cooking.
But the handles of the cooking utensils are made up of wood/plastic. This is because wood/plastic being bad conductors of heat, prevent our hands from getting burnt while holding the handle of the utensils.
