Assertion (A) : The yarn strength depends on the level of twist given in the final stage of ring spinning.
Reason (R) : Twist helps in binding the fibres through lateral pressure exerted by outer layers of fibres on the fibres in the core.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Assertion (A) states that yarn strength depends on the level of twist in ring spinning. This is correct. In ring spinning, the twist inserted into the yarn helps to hold the fibers together, directly influencing its tensile strength. Different twist levels produce yarns with varying strength properties.
Reason (R) explains the physical mechanism: twist binds fibers through lateral pressure. Outer fibers exert pressure on inner (core) fibers, creating friction and cohesion. This binding action is fundamental to yarn formation and strength.
Reason (R) accurately describes how twist contributes to yarn strength. The lateral pressure mentioned is the direct cause of fiber binding, which is why the twist level affects the overall strength of the yarn as stated in Assertion (A). Therefore, Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
Both statements are correct, and Reason (R) provides the valid explanation for Assertion (A).
The most appropriate answer is: Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
