Question

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Cellulosic textiles can be permanently heat set.
Reason (R) : Heat setting can be performed on thermoplastic polymers which when heated under strictly controlled temperatures soften and can be made to take any shape. When cooled, they will retain the desired shape or configuration.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

The correct answer is
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct

Assertion (A) Analysis: Cellulosic Textiles Heat Setting

Assertion (A) claims that cellulosic textiles can be permanently heat set. Cellulosic textiles are made from cellulose, a natural polymer. This material is not thermoplastic. The process of permanent heat setting, as described for thermoplastics, is not applicable to cellulosic fibers in the same way. Therefore, Assertion (A) is incorrect.

Reason (R) Analysis: Thermoplastic Polymers and Heat Setting

Reason (R) accurately describes the principle of heat setting for thermoplastic polymers. These materials soften upon heating to specific temperatures and can be molded into new shapes. Upon cooling, they retain the set shape. This property is fundamental to how thermoplastic polymers behave and are processed.

Conclusion: Assertion and Reason Validity

The analysis shows:

  • Assertion (A) is incorrect.
  • Reason (R) is correct.

Thus, the correct choice is that (A) is not correct, but (R) is correct.
