Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): Screw conveyor is generally used to move grains horizontally.
Statement (II): Screw conveyor can also move grain up to an angle of 45\(^{\circ}\).
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are correct.
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are incorrect.
• C. Statement (I) is correct but Statement (II) is incorrect.
• D. Statement (I) is incorrect but Statement (II) is correct.

Hint:

The capacity of a screw conveyor decreases by approximately 50% when the operating angle is increased from 0\(^{\circ}\) (horizontal) to 45\(^{\circ}\).
