d) Define the mold parting line

5. Which process is used to manufacture I-beam?

a) Filament Winding b) Pultrusion c) Blow Molding d) Compression

Molding

6. Assertion: Screw type Injection molding(IM) machine is suitable to

manufacture short fiber composite

Reason: High degree of mixing is achieved by Plunger type IM

a) Assertion and reason are correct statement and reason explains

assertion

b) Assertion and reason are correct statements but reason does not
explain assertion

c) Both assertion and reason are wrong statement

d) Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement

e) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement

7. Assertion: Through filament winding process is possible to get excellent

mechanical properties and high degree of design flexibility

Reason: In this process, the continuous fibers are oriented in controlled

manner.

a) Assertion and reason are correct statement and reason explains

assertion

b) Assertion and reason are correct statements but reason does not
explain assertion

c) Both assertion and reason are wrong statement

d) Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement

e) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement

8. Assertion: Resin transfer molding is advantageous process than injection

molding

Reason: Through injection molding is possible to manufacture continuous

fiber as well as discontinuous fiber composite.

a) Assertion and reason are correct statement and reason explains

assertion
 b) Assertion and reason are correct statements but reason does not
explain assertion

d) Assertion is correct statement and reason is wrong statement

e) Assertion is wrong statement and reason is correct statement

9. Assertion: Pultrusion is used to manufacture only constant cross-section

shapes

Reason: Pultrusion is continuous process and can be used to manufacture

extremely long sections.

a) Assertion and reason are correct statement and reason explains

assertion

b) Assertion and reason are correct statements but reason does not
explain assertion
