• A. Statement I is true and II is false
• B. Statement I is false and II is true
• C. Statement I and II are true
• D. Statement I and II are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statement I is true and II is false

$\bullet$ The process of combining two or more fibres to produce a fabric with better characteristics is called blending.

$\bullet$ For example, when cotton, a natural fibre which is comfortable to wear, is combined with terylene, a synthetic fibre which is wrinkle free, the resulting fabric terricot will be wrinkle free as well as comfortable to wear.

$\bullet$ While blending, if the percentage of natural fibre is more, the blended fabric will be more comfortable to wear.
