Rameshbhai said "when surface of any metal comes in contact with air, water, or humidity, corrosion will start". For this Divya, Darshana and Jigne gave certain statements.

Divya: When the paint is applied to the surface of iron, corrosion will start.

Darshana: In a test tube, iron is put in such a manner that half portion of iron sinks in water, then corrosion will start.

JIgne: When the surface of aluminium is kept open in the air, there will be no corrosion.
