Question

While going for a walk on a hot sunny day, which cloth among the following is most preferred to wear?

• A. A coat made from jute
• B. A t-shirt made from cotton
• C. A jacket made from silk
• D. A sweater made from wool

Answer 1

The correct option is B A t-shirt made from cotton

Cotton, jute, wool and silk are obtained from plants and animals, thus, are natural fibres.
Cotton and silk do not have the air pockets to trap air. This allows easy passage of air from the thin strands of fibre to atmosphere.
Thus, cotton and silk are preferred fibres for a hot sunny day. Cotton absorbs moisture (sweat) better than silk which makes it preferable between the two.

Wool is obtained from sheep and yak hair. These fibres have many tiny air pockets which trap air. All the trapped air acts as a blanket. This keeps the body warm and doesn't allow air to pass through the fabric.

Jute is roughin nature, thus it is not comfortable to wear.
