White cast iron has
A. Carbon in the form of carbide
B. Low tensile strength
C. High compressive strength
D. All of these
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
The correct answer is D: All of theseLet's break down why:
Option A: Carbon in the form of carbide - This is true. White cast iron gets its hardness and brittleness because the carbon is chemically bonded with iron to form iron carbide (Fe3C), also known as cementite.
Option B: Low tensile strength - This is also true. Tensile strength refers to how well a material resists being pulled apart. Because of the hard, brittle iron carbide structure, white cast iron is very poor at resisting tensile forces; it breaks easily when pulled or stretched.
Option C: High compressive strength - This is also true. Compressive strength refers to how well a material resists being crushed. The hard carbide structure in white cast iron *does* make it quite good at resisting compressive forces.
Since all three options (A, B, and C) are correct statements about white cast iron, the best answer is D: All of these.
