Q: The property of a material by which it can be drawn into smaller section by application of tension is called
  • A. Plasticity
  • B. Ductility
  • C. Elasticity
  • D. Malleability
Correct Answer: Option B - Ductility : Ductility of a metal is that property due to which a metal can be drawn into wire of thin section. Toughness : Toughness is the resistance to the impact loading. If a metal is tough then it is able to store large strain energy before fracture. Elasticity : It is that property of material by which the original dimensions can be recovered after unloading. Malleability : It is that property of a metal due to which a piece of metal can be converted into a thin sheet.
