Question

Rohit took with him some nylon ropes when he was going for rock climbing. Can you tell why he selected nylon ropes instead of ropes made of cotton or jute?

Nylon ropes are much stronger and durable than ropes made of cotton or jute. Cotton or jute ropes may break easily when getting rubbed with the rock, compared to them nylon doesn’t break easily.

Therefore, Rohit carried nylon ropes with him.
