Solution

The correct options are
A Nylon fibers have higher tensile strength than teylene fibres.
B In nylon, there is strong intermolecular H-bonding, while in terylene there is weak dipole-dipole interaction.
Nylon - 6,6 has high mechanical strength and superior resistance to wear and organic chemicals.
It has more than double the strength and stiffness of unreinforced nylon.
Nylon has NHCO bond which results in intermolecular H-bonding.
Terlyene has no H-bonding and has only weak dipole-dipole interactions and hence, nylon - 6,6 has higher tensile strength compared to that of terylene.
