Question

Statement I: Synthetic fibres are wrinkle-free and dry faster.

Statement II: Synthetic fibres are costlier than natural fibres.

• A. Both the statements are correct.
• B. Both the statements are incorrect.
• C. Statement I is incorrect, but statement II is correct.
• D. Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect.

$\bullet$ Synthetic fibres are wrinkle-resistant and they dry faster than natural fibres. That is why we have dry fit polyester (synthetic fibre) clothes for sportswear. Hence, statement I is correct.

$\bullet$ Natural fibres are costlier as compared to synthetic fibres as the processing methods of natural fibres are more complex than that of synthetic fibres. That is why a silk kurta is much more expensive than a similar looking rayon kurta. Hence, statement II is incorrect.

$\bullet$ Nylon, polyester, rayon and acrylic are some examples of synthetic fibres.
