Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Both 1 and 2
An alloy is prepared by melting the metals together and allowing the melt to solidify, giving a homogeneous mixture; carbon in steel is an example of a non-metal component. Solder, used to join electrical wires, is made of lead and tin and has a low melting point. Both statements are correct, so the answer is both.
