Assertion (A) : The configuration and orientation of fibres in a yarn decides the uniformity of twisted yarn.
Reason (R) : The proper drafting in different stages of spinning changes the configuration and orientation of fibres.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Assertion (A) states that the configuration and orientation of fibres in a yarn determine its uniformity. This is correct. The way fibres are arranged linearly and parallel to each other, along with their twist, directly influences how consistently the yarn's properties (like thickness, strength) are distributed, which is known as yarn uniformity.
Reason (R) states that proper drafting in spinning changes the configuration and orientation of fibres. This is also correct. Drafting is a crucial spinning process where a sliver or roving is drawn out to reduce its thickness and increase the parallelism and alignment (orientation) of the fibres within it. This controlled change directly impacts the final yarn structure.
Reason (R) explains Assertion (A) because the drafting process (R) is precisely what controls the fibre configuration and orientation. By achieving proper drafting, spinners can ensure the fibres are well-aligned and consistently distributed, which in turn leads to a more uniform yarn (A).
Both statements (A) and (R) are factually correct, and Reason (R) provides the correct mechanism that leads to the outcome described in Assertion (A). Therefore, (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
