Question

Two statements are given below:
I. Cellulose acetate is rayon
II. Perlan-L is nylon 6, 6

• A. Statements I, II both are correct
• B. Statements I, II both are incorrect
• C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
• D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Hint:

Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber derived from cellulose, whereas Nylon 6,6 is a completely synthetic polymer. When evaluating polymer names, always check their chemical composition and method of synthesis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

1. Statement I: Cellulose acetate is a type of rayon. Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber made from cellulose, and cellulose acetate is one of its modified forms. This statement is correct.

2. Statement II: Perlan-L is not Nylon 6,6. Nylon 6,6 is made from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, while Nylon 6 (a different polymer) is derived from caprolactam. This statement is incorrect.

Thus, Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect, making option (3) the correct choice.
