JEE Main 2025 — 3 April, Evening Shift — Question 4
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:
Statement I: Wet cotton clothes made of cellulose based carbohydrate takes comparatively longer time to get dried than wet nylon polymer based clothes.
Statement II: Intermolecular hydrogen bonding with water molecule is more in nylon-based clothes than in the case of cotton clothes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Option B:Correct
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Option C:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Option D:
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer: B
Step-by-step solution
Wet cellulose-based cotton clothes take longer time to dry than wet nylon-based clothes due to more number of
H -bonds between cellulose and water molecules. So, Statement-I is correct, Statement-II is incorrect.
