    The substance which does not expand on going from liquid state to solid state is

    • Water

    • Cast-iron 

    • Aluminium

    • Type metal

    Correct Answer
    A. Type metal
    Explanation
    Type metal is an alloy that is used for making printing typefaces and other high-quality printing plates. It is composed of a mixture of lead, antimony, and tin. Unlike water, cast-iron, and aluminum, type metal does not expand when it goes from a liquid state to a solid state. This is because the specific composition of type metal allows it to have a low coefficient of thermal expansion, meaning it does not significantly change in volume when it solidifies.
