19. Assertion : An aluminium alloy with 11% Si is used for making engine pistons by die
casting technique.
Reason : Aluminium has slow density and addition of silicon improves fluidity and
therefore its castability.

a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
b) both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
c) A is true ; but R is false
d) A is false ; low R is true

20. Assertion : The rate of flow of metal through the sprue is not a function of the cross
sectional area of sprue, runner and gate.
Reason : If the cross sectional areas of sprue, runner and gate are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 2,
it is known as non-pressurized gating system. For the following questions, provide
answers in terms of the following
