The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following alloys contain copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), we will analyze each alloy mentioned in the question. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Alloys**: The alloys listed in the question are bronze, brass, gunmetal, and tight metal. 2. **Analyze Bronze**: - Bronze is primarily an alloy of copper and tin. - It typically contains about 88-90% copper and 10-12% tin. - **Conclusion**: Bronze does NOT contain zinc. 3. **Analyze Brass**: - Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. - The composition of brass can vary, but it generally contains a significant amount of copper (around 55-85%) and zinc (around 15-45%). - **Conclusion**: Brass DOES contain zinc. 4. **Analyze Gunmetal**: - Gunmetal is an alloy made of copper, tin, and zinc. - A typical composition is approximately 88% copper, 10% tin, and 2% zinc. - **Conclusion**: Gunmetal DOES contain zinc. 5. **Analyze Tight Metal**: - Tight metal, or type metal, is primarily an alloy of lead, antimony, and tin. - It typically contains about 82% lead, 15% antimony, and 3% tin. - **Conclusion**: Tight metal does NOT contain copper or zinc. ### Final Answer: The alloys that contain copper and zinc are **brass (option B)** and **gunmetal (option C)**.
