The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given alloys has an incorrect composition, let's analyze each option step by step: 1. **Duralumin**: This alloy is composed of Aluminium, Copper, Magnesium, and Manganese. - **Composition**: Correct. Duralumin is indeed made from these elements. 2. **Magnalium**: This alloy consists of Aluminium and Magnesium. - **Composition**: Correct. Magnalium is primarily an alloy of Aluminium and Magnesium. 3. **Solder**: This is typically an alloy of Tin and Lead, but in some cases, it can also include Zinc. - **Composition**: Incorrect. The common composition of solder is Tin and Lead, not just Zinc and Tin. 4. **Brass**: This alloy is made of Copper and Zinc. - **Composition**: Correct. Brass is correctly identified as an alloy of Copper and Zinc. 5. **Bronze**: This alloy is primarily composed of Copper and Tin, not Aluminium and Copper. - **Composition**: Incorrect. Bronze is typically an alloy of Copper and Tin. Now, let's summarize the findings: - **Duralumin**: Correct - **Magnalium**: Correct - **Solder**: Incorrect (should be Tin and Lead) - **Brass**: Correct - **Bronze**: Incorrect (should be Copper and Tin) Thus, the incorrect compositions are related to **Solder** and **Bronze**. ### Final Answer: The incorrect compositions are: - Solder - should be Tin and Lead - Bronze - should be Copper and Tin
