Option C puts costing at position 1, where the right order has selling the concept. Option D puts designing and sampling at position 1, where the right order has selling the concept.

Which of the following governs the selection of needle ?

A.Type of thread
B.Type of fabric
C.Stitch length
D.Tension of thread

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: B

The selection of the needle is governed by the type of fabric. A fine or delicate fabric needs a fine needle, so that it is not damaged by holes, while a heavy or thick fabric needs a stronger, larger needle that can pass through it. The thread must suit the needle, but it is the fabric that decides the needle size and point. The stitch length and the tension of the thread are set on the machine after the needle and thread have been chosen. So the keyed answer is option B.

In a pattern, darts can be replaced by

(i) tucks (ii) gather
(iii) style line (iv) control seam

A.(i) and (ii) are correct
B.(ii) and (iii) are correct
C.(ii) and (iv) are correct
D.(iii) and (iv) are correct

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The keyed answer is that darts can be replaced by gathers and control seams, (ii) and (iv), option C. In pattern making, a dart takes in the fullness of the fabric to shape it at the bust or the waist, and the same shaping can be given by distributing the fullness in gathers or by taking it into a seam placed over the curve, which is a control seam. Option A, B and D name other combinations of tucks, gathers and style lines, which the key does not accept as the pair of replacements.

Assertion (A) : Break point of the collar is marked on the placket extension.

Reason (R) : Roll line turns back from the centre front line.

A.Both (A) and (R) are false.
B.Both (A) and (R) are true.
C.(A) is correct, but (R) is false.
D.(A) is false, but (R) is correct.

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2012,

Answer: C

The assertion is correct and the reason is false, according to the key. In collar drafting the break point of the collar, where it turns over, is marked on the placket extension, which is the edge extension of the garment opening. The reason says that the roll line turns back from the centre front line, which the key does not accept as correct. So option C is the keyed answer, and options A, B and D, which accept the reason or reject the assertion, are wrong.

D.Dressmakers

Exam Year(s)
