I. Boron fibres - bullet proof vest
II. Metal borides - nuclear industry
III. Borax - flux in soldering
Show Hint
- II, III only
- II, III, I only
- I, II, III
- II only
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- Metal borides are widely used in the nuclear industry for their hardness and resistance to radiation damage.
- Borax is used as a flux in soldering to prevent oxidation of the materials being joined.
