Answer»

The correct option is (a) 2 parts of BORAX with one part of sal-ammoniac

Best explanation: The metal which has to be welded, has to be first COVERED with flux. By covering it with flux, it CUTS the metal from the air around and prevents from oxidation. The fluxes used for this purpose are quartz sand, CALCINED borax and 3 parts of borax with one part of sal-ammoniac.
