Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

To elaborate: It is not possible to make un-symmetric shape of casting in centrifugal casting, only certain shapes which are axi-symmetric and having concentric holes are suitable to make in the centrifugal casting. And equipment are also expensive, so this method is suitable only for large scale production.
