Q. Consider the following statements:

1. The term ‘textile’ is derived from the Latin word ‘texere’.
2. Natural fibres are obtained from wool, silk, cotton, linen and jute.
3. Nylon and polyester are primary sources of natural fibres.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Only 1 and 2
Notes: The term ‘textile’ originates from the Latin ‘texere’, meaning to weave. Natural fibres are sourced from materials like wool, silk, cotton, linen, and jute. Nylon and polyester, however, are synthetic, man-made fibres and not derived from natural sources, making statement 3 incorrect.
