Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B Erratic power supply and lack of modern machinery hinders the weaving process
C China and Bangladesh are the major importers of Indian yarn

Indian spinning mills produce world-class export quality yarn, with China and Bangladesh being the major importers of Indian yarn. India accounts for about one-fourth of the total world trade in yarn. The weaving and processing units in India are highly decentralised. Most of the production is in fragmented small units, which cater to the local market, this is accompanied by erratic power supply and lack of modern machinery. As a result of all this fabric quality is not that high.
