Are these statements about the pseudoplastic fluids true?
Statement 1:The viscosity of these fluids decreases as the shear rate decreases.
Statement 2: Tomato puree is an example of pseudoplastic fluid.
a) True, False
b) True, True
c) False, True
d) False, False

Answer: c
Explanation: The viscosity of these fluids decreases as the shear rate increases. Blood, tomato puree are the examples of the pseudo plastic fluids. Another example is that, suspension of the corn starch in water with 1:1 concentration. Then this corn starch behaves like water when no force is applied. Still it is solidified as force is applied.
