Given below are two statements. Statement I : Pig iron is obtained by heating cast iron with scrap iron. Statement II : Pig iron has a relatively lower carbon content than that of cast iron. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct.
  2. BBoth Statement I and Statement II are not correct.
  3. CStatement I is correct but Statement II is not correct
