Question

Assertion (A): A rug is a single piece of floor covering made with a pattern or a border with fringe.

Reason (R): These are not woven but tufted to create a velvet-like appearance.

Options

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation: 

A is correct, a rug is described as a single piece of floor covering with a pattern or border and fringe. R is incorrect because, although some rugs are tufted to give a velvet‑like pile, many rugs (for example hand‑knotted or woven rugs) are actually woven rather than tufted.
