Question:

Which of the following groups contain only synthetic fibres?

Options:

Nylon, Terylene, Wool

Cotton, Polycot, Rayon

PVC, Polythene, Bakelite

Acrylic, Silk, Wool

Correct Answer:

PVC, Polythene, Bakelite

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3. PVC, Polythene, Bakelite.

Out of the following groups, only PVC, Polythene, and Bakelite contain only synthetic fibers:

Nylon, Terylene, Wool: Nylon and Terylene are synthetic fibers, but Wool is a natural fiber derived from sheep.

Cotton, Polycot, Rayon: Cotton is a natural fiber, while Polycot is a blend of cotton and polyester (synthetic) fibers, and Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from cellulose (natural) but processed to alter its properties.

PVC, Polythene, Bakelite: All three - PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Polythene (Polyethylene), and Bakelite - are synthetic polymers.

Acrylic, Silk, Wool: Acrylic is a synthetic fiber, but Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworms, and Wool, as mentioned earlier, is also a natural fiber.
