Question

Sequence step by step manufacturing process of cotton :
• [A.] Ginning, Baling and Grading
• [B.] Picking
• [C.] Opening, Cleaning and Blending
• [D.] Carding, Combing and Drawing
• [E.] Roving Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

• A. \( \text{A, C, B, D, E} \)
• B. \( \text{B, A, C, D, E} \)
• C. \( \text{C, D, B, A, E} \)
• D. \( \text{B, C, A, D, E} \)

Hint:

Always start at the farm: Picking comes before the Gin. Combing and Drawing always happen after the fibers have been cleaned and carded.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The manufacturing of cotton follows a highly standardized path from field harvesting to the preparation of intermediate roving for final spinning.

Step 1: Determining the sequence from field to mill:
• Picking (B): The mechanical or manual harvest of cotton bolls from the plant.
• Ginning, Baling and Grading (A): Separating fiber from seeds (ginning), compressing them for transport (baling), and assessing quality.
• Opening, Cleaning and Blending (C): Breaking the bales and mixing fibers to ensure uniformity.
• Carding, Combing and Drawing (D): Aligning fibers into a sliver and removing short fibers (combing).
• Roving (E): Reducing the sliver size and adding a slight twist to prepare for spinning.

Step 2: Conclusion: The industrial progression is B-A-C-D-E, which is reflected in option (2).
