Question

Assertion (A): Fabric properties such as durability, abrasion resistance, and colour fastness influence serviceability.

Reason (R): Durable fabrics can withstand wear and tear, abrasion-resistant fabrics resist damage from rubbing, and colourfast fabrics retain their colour with washing.

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

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

Explanation:

Durability, abrasion resistance and colour fastness are exactly the properties that determine a fabric’s serviceability because they keep the fabric functional and attractive durable fabrics resist wear, abrasion-resistant ones avoid surface damage from rubbing, and colourfast fabrics retain colour after washing.
