Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

The explanation: Very carefully metered charge of molten metal is poured into the die cavity as to maintain the exact amount required for the casting. Excess of molten metal can lead to an increase in work time and the overall working efficiency is also decreases. So to avoid this problem, extreme care should be taken at the time of pouring.
