  1. A \(\mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{Cu}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Al}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Zn}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Zn}, \mathrm{Cu}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Zn}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Kaolinite is \(\mathrm{Al}_2 \mathrm{Si}_2 \mathrm{O}_5(\mathrm{OH})\) Calamine is \(\mathrm{ZnCO}_3\) Thus Al \& Zn obtained respectively
