Q. 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
C) Alloys have larger values of Young’s modulus than metals
D) Metals have larger values of Young’s modulus than elastomers
Explanation
(d) Metals have larger values of Young’s modulus than elastomers because the alloys having high densities, $ie$, alloys have larger values of Young’s modulus than metals.
