Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II. 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

• A. A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV
• B. A - I, B - III, C - II, D - IV
• C. A - III, B - II, C - I, D - IV
• D. A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II

Hint:

Selvage types are special edges of fabric designed to prevent fraying and aid cutting: Tape → cutting, Fused → dense warp, Center → thermoplastic, Plain → stronger edges.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Tape selvage.
Tape selvage is used when a fabric is woven with the intention of cutting it into two narrower fabrics along its length. This matches with statement I. Hence A → I.
Step 2: Fused selvage.
Fused selvages occur when thermoplastic fibers are melted or fused under heat, but in this context, “fused” refers to an increased density of warp yarns. This matches with statement II. Hence B → II.
Step 3: Center or Split selvage.
Center or split selvages are created when a fabric is woven and later split down the middle. This requires thermoplastic fibers for stability and heat-sealing. Thus, it matches statement III. Hence C → III.
Step 4: Plain selvage.
Plain selvages use the same yarns as the main body but with heavier warp yarns. The weave may be basket or rib to add strength. This matches statement IV. Hence D → IV.
Step 5: Conclusion.
The correct match is A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV.
