Solution

The correct option is A

Silk rope is stronger than metal wire of similar dimension


Silk rope is stronger than metal wire of comparable dimension. If an experiment is done, in which different weights are tied to different ropes of silk, cotton, wool and metal, then it is observed that silk can bear the maximum weight implying it is stronger than the rest of the materials used. But the density of silk is lesser than metal, so it weighs less than metal wire. Also, silk is more flexible when compared to a metal wire.
