P. The engineering stress-strain curves in tension and compression are identical.
Q. The true stress-true strain curve in compression is lower than the true stresstrue strain curve in tension due to Bauschinger effect.
R. The true stress-true strain curve in tension is above the corresponding engineering stress-strain, curve.
S. The true stress-true strain curve in tension and compression are identical.

Upon addition of sodium oxide to molten silicate slag, the viscosity of the slag

A. decreases because the oxygen ions supplied by the sodium oxide break the chain structure of the silicate slag

B. increases because the oxygen ion supplied by the sodium oxide further add to the oxygen network in the slag

C. remains unaffected because fundamentally one can not distinguish between the oxygen ions supplied by the sodium oxide and those already present in the slag

D. remains unaffected because the oxygen ions fill up the holes and vacancies present in the liquid slag
