Question

The step-by-step process followed to produce silk filament fibre from the cocoon is as follows:
• [A.] Degumming
• [B.] Sorting
• [C.] Stifling
• [D.] Reeling
• [E.] Throwing Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Hint:

Order: Stifling, Sorting, Reeling, Throwing, Degumming.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Question:

• We must arrange the steps used to produce silk filament fibre from the cocoon.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:

• Stifling (C): the pupa inside the cocoon is killed by heat so that it cannot break the filament.

• Sorting (B): the stifled cocoons are graded by colour, size and quality.

• Reeling (D): the continuous filament is unwound from the cocoons.

• Throwing (E): the reeled filaments are twisted into yarn.

• Degumming (A): the sericin (silk gum) is removed to give lustre and softness.

• Sequence: C, B, D, E, A.

Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct option is (A) C, B, D, E, A.
