Which of the following is not a natural fibre?- Cotton
- Jute
- Nylon

Correct answer: (c) Nylon
Explanation: Nylon is a synthetic fibre manufactured in factories using chemicals. Nylon is the first fully synthetic fibre. It was prepared from coal, water and air. It is very strong, elastic and light. Nylon fibres are even stronger than rayon fibres. They produce a stronger, more smooth fabric which is elastic and abrasion-resistant. It is very easy to wash and used for making a variety of things like socks, ropes, bags, curtains, parachutes etc.
Cotton, jute and flax are natural plant fibres.
