Question

A lady went to the market to buy a blanket. The shopkeeper showed her blankets made up of acrylic fibres as well as made up of wool. She preferred to buy an acrylic blanket. Can you guess why?

Answer 1

Acrylic fibre is nothing but artificial wool or the synthetic version of wool. Acrylic blankets being synthetic are cheap, light in weight, more durable and are available in a variety of colours and designs. They can be easily washed at home unlike woolen blankets. So the lady must have bought it for the above-mentioned reasons.
