Question

Type metal is an alloy of$\mathrm{Pb}$, $\mathrm{Sb}$ and $\mathrm{Sn}$. It consists of

• A. Equal amounts of the three metals
• B. More amount of lead
• C. More amount of antimony
• D. More amount of tin

Answer 1

The correct option is B

More amount of lead

The explanation for the correct option

(B) More amount of lead

Alloys

• Alloys are referred to as a blend of metals or metals combined with other elements.
• Properties of metals can be enhanced by the addition of certain metals or elements.

Type metal

• Type metal is an alloy of $\mathrm{Pb}$, $\mathrm{Sb}$ and $\mathrm{Sn}$.
• It consists of lead $\left(50-80\%\right)$, antimony$\left(11-30\%\right)$, and tin$\left(3-20\%\right)$.

So, type metal consists of more amount of lead$\left(\mathrm{Pb}\right)$.

The explanation for the incorrect option

Type metal consists of more amount of lead$\left(\mathrm{Pb}\right)$. Hence, options (A), (C), and (D) are incorrect.

Hence, option (B) is correct. Type metal consists of more amount of lead $\left(\mathrm{Pb}\right)$.
