    (B) 1
    (C) < 1
    (D) > 1
8. Activators are those chemicals which help buoying up one mineral in preference to the other in the froth floatation process. Which of the following is an activator?
    (A) Cresylic acid
    (B) Copper sulphate
    (C) Calcium carbonate

    (C) Calcined lime
    (D) None of these
10. The filtrate flow rate in constant pressure filtration
    (A) Continuously increases
    (B) Continuously decreases
    (C) Remain constant throughout
    (D) May increase or decrease; depends on the pressure
11. Pick out the wrong statement.
    (A) Cumulative analysis for determining surface area is preferred over differential analysis, because of the assumption that "all particles in a simple fraction equal in size" is not needed for cumulative analysis unlike differential analysis
    (B) A gate diagram is a plot of cumulative percent by weight undersize vs. the reciprocal of diameter, in which the area beneath the curve represents the surface
