Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

• A. All ores are minerals
• B. All minerals are ores
• C. Some ores are minerals
• D. Not all ores are minerals

Answer 1

The correct option is A

All ores are minerals

The elements or compounds, which occur naturally in the earth’s crust, are known as minerals.

At some places, minerals contain a very high percentage of a particular metal and the metal can be profitably extracted from it. These minerals are called ores.

So, all ores are minerals, but not all minerals are ores.
