The question was asked at a job interview.

Asked question is from Mechanized Foundry in division Foundry Mechanizations of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) False

To elaborate: In a mechanized foundry, castings are knocked out from the moulds on a vibratory grid at the knock outstation and sand passes down into a hopper through the grid, and then the castings vibrate off into the cooling trays. This makes the removal very easy with less effort and without damaging the castings.
