Question

Match List - I with List - II.

List - I	List - II
A. Nomex	I. Manmade Cellulosic Fibres
B. Kapok	II. Animal Protein Fibres
C. Mohair	III. High Performance Fibres
D. Tencel	IV. Natural Cellulosic Fibres

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. \( \text{A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV} \)
• B. \( \text{A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I} \)
• C. \( \text{A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I} \)
• D. \( \text{A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I} \)

Hint:

To solve matching questions efficiently, identify the "easiest" pair first. For example, knowing Mohair is an animal fiber (Protein) or Tencel is wood-based (Cellulosic) helps eliminate most incorrect options instantly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept: Textile fibers are classified based on their origin and chemical composition. Natural fibers can be protein-based (animal) or cellulosic (plant), while manmade fibers include regenerated cellulosics and high-performance synthetics.

Step 1: Matching the fibers to their respective categories.
By analyzing the characteristics of each fiber:
• Nomex (A): An aramid fiber used for flame resistance, classified as a High Performance Fiber (III).
• Kapok (B): A seed fiber from the Ceiba tree, categorized as a Natural Cellulosic Fiber (IV).
• Mohair (C): Hair from the Angora goat, which is an Animal Protein Fiber (II).
• Tencel (D): A brand of lyocell, which is a Manmade Cellulosic Fiber (I). Matching these gives the sequence: A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
