Q: The process of cutting materials by means of a high velocity jet of high temperature ionized gas (argon) is called

The process is called plasma cutting.In plasma cutting an electric arc heats a gas, such as argon, until it ionises into plasma, and a high-velocity jet of this very hot gas melts and blows away the material along the cut.Laser cutting uses a focused beam of light, water jet cutting uses a very high pressure stream of water, often with an abrasive, and die cutting presses a shaped blade through the material. None of these uses an ionised gas jet.

Q: Lock stitch isI. ReversibleII. StretchableIII. Non-reversibleIV. Used for precise stitchingCodes :

The lock stitch is reversible and used for precise stitching (I and IV).The lock stitch is made with two threads that interlock in the middle of the fabric, so it looks the same on both sides. It is a firm, flat stitch that suits accurate straight seams.It is not stretchable, since the interlocked threads give no stretch, and so statements II and III, which call it stretchable and non-reversible, are wrong.

Match the items given in List - I with their descriptions given in List - II.

List - I	List - II
a. Godet	i. Piece attached at sleeve
b. Gusset	ii. Short flare attached to the waist of a garment
c. Peplum	iii. Triangular piece attached at the hemline
d. Gores	iv. Panels in a garment

Codes : a b c d

A.i ii iii iv
B.ii iv i iii
C.iii i ii iv
D.ii iii iv i

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: C

A godet is a triangular piece attached at the hemline (iii), a gusset is a piece attached at the sleeve (i), a peplum is a short flare attached to the waist of a garment (ii), and gores are panels in a garment (iv). So the code is iii, i, ii, iv.

The other codes give the terms the wrong description, such as calling a godet a piece attached at the sleeve, which describes a gusset.

A godet is a triangular insert set into a skirt or hem to add flare, a gusset is a small piece inserted at the underarm or sleeve to give ease of movement, and gores are the tapering panels of a flared skirt. The peplum is the short flare at the waist.

A.Laser cutting
B.Plasma cutting
C.Water jet cutting
D.Die cutting

Answer: B

The process is called plasma cutting.

In plasma cutting an electric arc heats a gas, such as argon, until it ionises into plasma, and a high-velocity jet of this very hot gas melts and blows away the material along the cut.

Laser cutting uses a focused beam of light, water jet cutting uses a very high pressure stream of water, often with an abrasive, and die cutting presses a shaped blade through the material. None of these uses an ionised gas jet.

II. Sampling
III. Knowledge and sourcing of fabrics and trims
IV. Selling
V. Negotiation with Vendors
Codes :

A.I, III, V, II, IV
B.II, I, III, V, IV
C.V, I, II, III, IV
D.I, III, V, IV, II

Exam Year(s)

UGC NET - 2013,

Answer: A

The sequence is I, III, V, II, IV.

Fashion merchandising begins with awareness of market trends and fashion forecasts, then knowledge and sourcing of fabrics and trims, negotiation with vendors, sampling, and finally selling.

Option B starts with sampling before the trends and materials are known, option C starts with negotiation before the forecast, and option D puts selling before sampling.

Selling comes last because there is nothing to sell until the fabrics are sourced, the vendors are agreed and the samples are approved.
