Answer 1

Answer:

b) Base metal is the answer

Answer 2

In an alloy, the base metal is present in the largest proportion. (Option b)

• Any given alloy is a composition of at least two metals that are mixed in a specific proportion.
• Out of these metals, the metal which is used in the greatest proportion is called the base metal.
• This forms the primary segment of the alloy.
• A pure metal is not an alloy. So, the base metal is the relevant option here.
