The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements provided is correct, we need to analyze each one carefully. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze the first statement**: "Water can be used for extinguishing fire caused due to electrical faults." - This statement is **incorrect**. Water is a conductor of electricity, and using it on electrical fires can lead to electrocution or further spread of the fire. 2. **Analyze the second statement**: "Carbon is a non-metal, not a metal so it cannot be used in an electrolytic cell." - This statement is **incorrect**. While carbon is indeed a non-metal, it can still be used in electrolytic cells as an electrode material due to its conductive properties. 3. **Analyze the third statement**: "Water can be used for extinguishing fire caused due to electrical faults." - This statement is a repetition of the first statement and is still **incorrect** for the same reasons mentioned above. 4. **Analyze the fourth statement**: "Pure water forms iron to conduct electricity." - This statement is **incorrect**. Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity. It does not form iron; rather, it requires impurities (like salts) to conduct electricity effectively. ### Conclusion: None of the statements provided are correct.
