Consider the following statements. 1. Glass wool has tensile strength greater than steel. 2. Glass wool is fire proof. 3. Glass wool has high electrical conductivity and absorbs moisture. 4. Glass wool is used to prepare libre glass. Which of the statements given above are correct? A. 1, 2, 3 and 4 B. 1, 2 and 3 C. 1, 2 and 4 D. 3 and 4

1, 2, 3 and 4
1, 2 and 3
1, 2 and 4
3 and 4

The correct answer is B. 1, 2 and 3.

Glass wool is a type of insulation made from molten glass that is spun into fine fibers. It is used for a variety of purposes, including insulation of buildings, pipes, and other equipment. Glass wool is a good insulator because it is a poor conductor of heat and electricity. It is also fireproof and does not absorb moisture.

However, glass wool is not as strong as steel. Steel has a tensile strength of about 500 MPa, while glass wool has a tensile strength of about 10 MPa. This means that steel can withstand a tensile force of 500 MPa before breaking, while glass wool can only withstand a tensile force of 10 MPa before breaking.

Therefore, the statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, while statement 4 is incorrect.
