Question:

What will be the loop length of the knitted fabric having course length 60 cm and wale length 80 cm and number of loops per course 40?

Show Hint

Loop length is the length of yarn in one loop. It's calculated by dividing the total course length by the number of loops in that course.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding Knitted Fabric Parameters: Course Length: The total length of yarn in one course (a horizontal row of loops). 
Wale Length: The total length of fabric in the vertical direction, measured along a wale (a vertical column of loops). 
Loops per Course: The number of knitted loops in one course. 
Loop Length: The length of yarn forming one knitted loop. 

Step 2: Calculating Loop Length: Loop length can be calculated by dividing course length by number of loops per course. \[ \text{Loop Length} = \frac{\text{Course Length}}{\text{Number of Loops per Course}} \] \[ \text{Loop Length} = \frac{60 \text{ cm}}{40} = 1.5 \text{ cm} \]
