A man painted his main gate made up of iron, to
(i) prevent it from rusting.
(ii) protect it from sun.
(iii) make it look beautiful.
(iv) make it dust free.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
(a) (i) and (ii)
(b) (ii) and (iii)
(c) only (ii)
(d) (i) and (iii)
The correct answer is (d) (i) and (iii).
Explanation:
Painting an iron gate primarily serves two purposes:
1. Preventing Rust:
Paint creates a barrier between the iron and the elements (moisture, oxygen), preventing oxidation and rust.
2. Aesthetic Enhancement:
Paint adds color and visual appeal to the gate, making it more aesthetically pleasing.
Why other options are incorrect:
(ii) Protect it from sun:
While paint might offer some protection from the sun’s UV rays, this is not the primary reason for painting an iron gate. The main purpose is rust prevention and aesthetics.
(iv) Make it dust free:
Paint does not inherently make an iron gate dust-free. Dust can still accumulate on painted surfaces.
