Solution

Explanation:
When two objects are rubbed against each other, they acquire opposite charges.
By the law of conduction, it is known that the glass rod acquires positive charges and the silk cloth acquires negative charges.
When a glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth, electrons are stripped away from the atoms in the glass and transferred to the silk cloth.
This leaves the glass rod with a more positive charge.

Hence, a glass rod acquires positive charges when it is rubbed with silk cloth.
