Question

Seema is planning a trip to Kashmir this summer. Which of the following clothes should she definitely pack?
A. Denim Jacket
B. Leather pants
C. Woolen Sweater
D. Cotton shirt

Answer 1

Hint: Think about the geographical location of Kashmir. Accordingly take an idea of the climatic conditions in the summer month. Thereby, answer the suitable clothes for the trip. The climate of a landscape with such high altitude will definitely have a temperature range of low temperatures.

Complete step by step answer:
Kashmir is located to the north of India. It is at an altitude of about $1620m$ above sea level. Being on a higher than average altitude, we can easily infer that the temperature at night, even in summers, can go down and hence to avoid the cold climate Seema should definitely take a woolen sweater. A woolen sweater will help her to escape the cold climate. It traps the body heat inside and doesn’t allow the heat to escape and thus keeps one warm. All the other cotton shirts, denim jackets and leather pants are just choices and depend on person to person.
Hence option (C) is the correct answer.

Additional Information: Kashmir is located in the northern part of India and thus it is cooler than the other regions lying to the south of India. In Jammu & Kashmir, summers start from May and continue till June, The average temperature during this time ranges between ${14^ \circ }C - {30^ \circ }C$. Woolen clothes keep us warm during winter because wool is a poor conductor of heat and it has air trapped in between the fibers. Thus it is preferred to wear in the colder climates.


Note: Do not confuse that summers will definitely be hot. Since Kashmir is on a higher altitude, nights and evenings are pretty cold. Thus the answer should be chosen while keeping this in mind. The lower temperature at night is due to the high altitude.
