Question

Give reasons :

a) Nylon clothes should not be worn in the kitchen.
b) Cotton fibre is used to make bath towels.
c) Umbrellas and raincoats are made from synthetic fibres

Answer 1

a) It is dangerous to wear nylon clothes while cooking because it is a synthetic cloth and they catch fire easily also they can stick on our body which is very painful.

b) Cotton is a natural product. And unlike synthetic fibres, it is more absorbent. The towel hence has high absorbency.

c) Nylon and polyester are two fabrics most commonly used in raincoats and umbrellas. They are not absorbent the way natural fibers are. They naturally resist waterlogging, and can be made waterproof.
