Question

Which type of cloth dries faster in the rainy season?
A) Cotton
B) Wool
C) Polyester
D) Silk

Answer 1

Hint: Cotton Clothes are made from the fibres that grow around the seed of cotton plants. Wool obtained from the sheep and the other animals. Polyester is a synthetic fibre obtained from petroleum. Pure variety of silk is obtained from cocoons.

Complete answer:
We wear different types of clothes in different seasons. For example, the clothes that you wear in summer are different from the clothes we wear in winter. In summer, we wear cotton shirts. Air can pass through cotton clothes so the skin can breathe. Due to which the sweat dries easily. So, the skin remains cool and dry. Cotton clothes are resistant to dust and mites. This prevents skin irritation and infections during summer.
During winter, we wear woolen clothes and your clothes cover almost the entire body.
During monsoon, we wear raincoats. Water cannot pass through raincoats.
Thus, with change in season, you change the fabric of clothes and the kind of clothes.
The type of cloth dries faster in the rainy season is synthetic fiber such as Polyester. We knit polyester yarns and make polyester fabrics. Polyester fabric acts as good insulation against the wind. We can vary the thickness of polyester material depending on the intensity of the cold.

Hence, the option (C) polyester is the correct option.

Note: A polyester fibre contains several ester functional groups. An ester functional group is obtained by condensation of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid. During condensation, a simple water molecule is eliminated.
