Cast iron containing graphite flakes so it has a brittle in nature, so low strength in tension than in compression.

Vimal said:   7 years ago
The Answer will be A. The White cast iron contain up to 2.3% of carbon and high tensile low compressive strength.

Yash Rajput said:   6 years ago
No, it is not A.

Because It has high compressive strength comparative & low tensile strength.
