Solution

On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.
Hence, A glass rod on rubbing with silk acquires positive charge on account of the deficiency of electrons.
