Assertion (A): A fine ceramic powder is granulated before it is dry pressed.
Reason (R): Fine powders do not flow and will not fill a die uniformly.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. A submicron powder is cohesive and will not flow into a die, so the fill is uneven and the compact varies in density. Spray drying builds it into free-flowing granules of tens of micrometres, which fill the die uniformly and then collapse under pressure.
