Answer»

Correct answer is (d) 2.0-5.0

To explain I would say: Cast iron is the OLDEST ferrous material that is used for commercial purposes. It is mainly a MIXTURE of iron (Fe) and carbon (C). It can also include MATERIALS like sulfur (S), SILICON (Si), and manganese (Mn). Generally, for the cast iron, the percentage of carbon in iron is 2 to 5 PERCENT.
