  15. Addition of grog in fireclay brick during its manufacture is advantageous, because it results in

  16. A.
    less shrinkage in heating, decreased apparent porosity & increased specific gravity.
    B.
    high strength & thermal spalling resistance.
    C.
    less addition of water to get a workable plasticity & lesser time required for drying the raw refractories and hence increased rate of production.
    D.
    all (a), (b) and (c).
