RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

nickel and chromium

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. nickel and chromium.

Stainless steel is an important alloy made by mixing iron with nickel and chromium. The addition of chromium imparts high corrosion resistance, which is a key property of stainless steel. Nickel enhances the strength and improves the ductility of the alloy, making it strong yet workable. The presence of both nickel and chromium ensures that stainless steel does not rust easily and maintains its shine for a long time. Due to these properties, stainless steel is widely used in kitchen utensils, construction materials, and medical instruments. Therefore, the correct answer is nickel and chromium.
