Answer»

Correct choice is (b) False

Best explanation: Freezing ratio GREATER than UNITY is always preferred for the ability to feed the casting. Sphere could be used as a riser as its surface area to volume ratio is very low. But in sphere, the hottest METAL being at CENTRE, it is very difficult to use it for feeding to the casting, so a cylindrical TYPE is always preferred.
