Bronze is an alloy made by melting the following :

  • A.Tin and copper
  • B.Copper and zinc
  • C.Aluminium and zinc
  • D.Zinc and tin

Answer: A

Bronze is made from tin and copper.

Bronze is an alloy mainly of copper with tin, usually about 88 percent copper and 12 percent tin. It is harder than copper and resists corrosion, which is why it was used for tools, weapons and statues from the Bronze Age onwards, as in the bronze dancing girl from Mohenjo-daro and Chola bronzes.

Copper and zinc make brass, the common confusion. Aluminium and zinc, and zinc and tin, are not the components of bronze.
