Concept:
In ring spinning, air nozzles are used as an auxiliary yarn hairiness control system. The high-velocity air stream acts on the yarn surface and helps in binding loose fibre ends into the yarn structure. This reduces protruding fibres, thereby improving yarn smoothness and appearance.
Step 1: Understand function of air nozzle.
Air nozzle applies controlled air flow on running yarn.
\[
\text{Air jet action} \Rightarrow \text{binding of surface fibres}
\]
Step 2: Analyze effect on yarn properties.
It mainly affects surface characteristics:
• Reduces hairiness
• Improves compactness
• Enhances appearance
\[
\text{Main effect: reduction in hairs/inch}
\]
Step 3: Eliminate incorrect options.
• CV% → depends on drafting, not air nozzle
• Twist → controlled by spindle and draft
• Count → depends on drafting system
Step 4: Final answer.
\[
\boxed{\text{Reduction in Hairs / inch}}
\]
Thus,
\[
\boxed{\text{Option (A) is correct.}}
\]
