Q136 / 180 · AIIMS 2019 (25 May) · Physics

Identify the incorrect statement.

A
Young's modulus and shear modulus are relevant only for solids.
B
Bulk modulus is relevant for solids, liquids and gases.
Correct answer
C
Alloys have larger values of Young's modulus than metals.
D
Metals have large values of Young's modulus than elastomers.

Solution

Metals have larger values of Young's modulus than alloys and elastomers.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
