Question

Analyse the venn diagram given below and identify the points which represent polycot and rayon respectively.

• A. 2, 1
• B. 2, 4
• C. 4, 3
• D. 3, 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2, 1

$\bullet$ Polyester can be blended with natural fibres to obtain different blended fibres with some properties of both polyester and the respective natural fibre.
$\bullet$ Some of the common examples of blended polyester fibres are:
- Polywool: It is a combination of polyester and wool.
- Polycot: It is a combination of polyester and cotton.
$\bullet$ ‘1' represents a man-made fibre which is obtained from a natural source. It is therefore rayon, which is obtained by chemical treatment of wood pulp, i.e. a natural source.
$\bullet$ Polycot, as we now know, is a man-made fibre that is a mixture of polyester and cotton. The source of cotton is natural. So, ‘4’ represents polycot.
