Question

Which amongst the following pairs cannot be used for making different fabrics?

• A. Yak hair and camel hair
• B. Fleece and cocoon
• C. Cotton and jute
• D. Bones and tusks

Answer 1

The correct option is D Bones and tusks

All fabrics are made of fibres. The fibres obtained from plants and animals are called natural fibres.

$\bullet$ Wool is an animal fibre obtained from the fleece of animals like sheep, yak, goat, camel, etc.

$\bullet$ Silk, an animal fibre, is obtained from the cocoon of silkworm.

​​​​​​​$\bullet$ Cotton and jute are plant fibres obtained from cotton and jute plants respectively.

However, bones and tusks cannot be used for obtaining fibres.
