Question

The cut length of a staple polyester fibre is approximately equal to the effective length of a specific variety of long staple cotton fibre. When these two types of fibres are blended in nearly equal proportion, the typical comb sorter diagram of the blended fibre-tuft is ____________________.

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

- When blending fibres of nearly equal length, the comb sorter diagram will show a gradual curve, reflecting the blending of the two fibre types.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

In the case where polyester and long staple cotton fibres are blended in nearly equal proportions, the comb sorter diagram typically shows a shape that reflects the blending of two different fibre lengths. As the lengths are approximately equal, the diagram will display a smoother slope compared to a diagram with highly uneven fibre lengths. Option (B) shows the expected pattern for such a blend. Final Answer: The typical comb sorter diagram is \( \boxed{B} \).
