Question

Which one of these materials would make a furniture lightest for the same design? 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

When selecting materials for lightweight furniture, consider the density and composition of the material.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

1. Particle board: This material is made by compressing wood particles and resin. It is lightweight compared to the other options.
2. Medium Density Fiber (MDF): MDF is denser than particle board and therefore heavier.
3. Teak Wood: As a natural hardwood, teak is significantly denser and heavier.
4. Plywood: Plywood is lighter than teak wood but heavier than particle board due to its layered structure.
Conclusion: The lightest material for furniture construction among the given options is \(A\) (Particle board).
