Which of the following statements is not true as far as ink composition is concerned ?

  • A.Fibre tip inks are usually water or xylene based
  • B.Ballpoint pen inks consist of synthetic dyes in various solvents
  • C.Fountain pen inks may be iron-gallotannate or aqueous synthetic
  • D.The rolling marker pen is water based, contains inorganic metal oxides.

Answer: D

The statement that is not true, according to the key, is the one about the rolling marker pen.

Rollerball and similar marker inks are water-based and are coloured by dissolved dyes (gel versions use some pigments), so a claim that they contain inorganic metal oxides does not describe them. The other three statements fit standard accounts: ballpoint inks are dyes in glycol or other solvents, fountain pen inks are either the old iron-gallotannate type or aqueous synthetic dye, and fibre tip inks are solvent or water carriers.

What could not be confirmed: no source was found that states the composition of a 'rolling marker pen' or the exact solvent list for fibre tip inks, so the answer rests on elimination. D is the weakest of the four statements, which is why it is keyed.
