Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Wool has a soft handle, lower chemical resistance and good water and dye absorption.
Reason (R) : 70-75% of crystalline regions of the wool structure are responsible for the above properties.

• A. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
• B. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
• C. (A) is true but (R) is false.
• D. (A) is false but (R) is true.

Hint:

Remember: High amorphous content = high moisture absorption, soft handle, and lower chemical resistance. Wool is highly amorphous, so any statement claiming it has "70-75% crystalline regions" must be false.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
