Assertion (A): Matching a shade across two different fibre types is inherently metameric.
Reason (R): The same dye behaves differently on different fibres and different dyes must be used.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. A dye that works on cotton will not fix on polyester, so a shade matched across the two fibres must be built from different dyes with different absorption spectra. The curves therefore cannot coincide, and the match is metameric from the outset - which is why two-fibre garments are assessed under several illuminants as a matter of course.
