Question

Given below are two statements
Statement I: Checked/striped towels in plain weave or Turkish towels make equally good bathing towels.
Statement II: Both have loops which are reasonably close together but not too tightly twisted together.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

Remember towel types:
- Plain weave = No loops (checked/striped towels).
- Terry weave = Has loops (Turkish towels).
- Loops = Absorbent, close together, not tightly twisted for softness.
Only terry towels have loops; plain weave towels do not.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question tests knowledge of textile properties of towels.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Statement I:
Checked/striped towels in plain weave and Turkish towels are both good for bathing.
Plain weave towels are durable, while Turkish towels (terry weave) have loops for absorbency.
Both serve as effective bathing towels.
This statement is correct.
Statement II:
Checked/striped towels in plain weave do NOT have loops.
Plain weave is a simple over-under weave without loops.
Turkish towels (terry weave) have loops that are close together but not tightly twisted.
This statement is incorrect because it claims both types have loops.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Thus, Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect, which corresponds to option (C).
