Sample WBCHSE HS Vocational Apparel Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the WBCHSE HS Vocational Apparel exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which natural fiber is primarily composed of cellulose and obtained from the seed hair of the Gossypium plant?
A.Cotton
B.Silk
C.Wool
D.Nylon
Explanation: Cotton is a natural seed fiber harvested from plants of the genus Gossypium and is composed of almost pure cellulose (90-95%). It is widely used in apparel due to its breathability, softness, and absorbency.
2Which natural protein filament fiber is harvested from the cocoons formed by Bombyx mori larvae?
A.Jute
B.Linen
C.Silk
D.Rayon
Explanation: Silk is a natural protein filament spun by silkworms (Bombyx mori) to form cocoons. It is prized for its high tensile strength, smooth texture, natural luster, and luxurious drape.
3Which synthetic elastomeric fiber is famous for its extreme stretchability and elastic recovery in activewear?
A.Polyester
B.Spandex
C.Acrylic
D.Polypropylene
Explanation: Spandex (also known as elastane or Lycra) is a synthetic polyurethane fiber capable of stretching up to 500% of its original length with excellent elastic recovery, making it essential for stretch garments.
4Under a longitudinal microscopic view, mature cotton fibers appear as:
A.Smooth glass-like rods with cross-markings
B.Flat, twisted ribbon-like structures with convolutions
C.Triangular cross-section with smooth contours
D.Uniform cylinders with a central hollow canal (lumen)
Explanation: Under a microscope, mature cotton fibers exhibit a characteristic flat, ribbon-like appearance with natural spiral twists called convolutions, which contribute to fiber cohesion during spinning.
5During a burning identification test, pure wool fiber produces:
A.A sharp vinegar-like chemical odor and hard bead
B.The odor of burning hair and leaves a dark, crushable irregular ash
C.A sweet fruity odor and melts into a hard plastic bead
D.A celery-like odor with self-extinguishing flame
Explanation: Because wool is a protein fiber containing sulfur, burning it generates a distinct smell of burning hair or feathers and leaves a dark, brittle, crushable irregular ash.
6In direct yarn numbering systems, one Denier is defined as the mass in grams per:
A.1,000 meters of yarn
B.9,000 meters of yarn
C.840 yards of yarn
D.10,000 meters of yarn
Explanation: Denier is a direct yarn numbering system where 1 Denier equals 1 gram per 9,000 meters of yarn length. It is standard for continuous filament yarns like silk and synthetics.
7The universal direct yarn count system 'Tex' expresses yarn fineness as:
A.Pounds per 100 yards
B.Grams per 1,000 meters
C.Kilograms per kilometer
D.Ounces per 840 yards
Explanation: Tex is the ISO standard direct yarn count unit representing the weight in grams of 1,000 meters of yarn. A higher Tex number signifies a thicker yarn.
8Which basic weave structure features the simplest 1/1 alternating interlacing of warp and weft yarns?
A.Twill weave
B.Satin weave
C.Plain weave
D.Jacquard weave
Explanation: Plain weave is the most fundamental weave structure where each weft yarn passes alternately over and under consecutive warp yarns (1/1 repeat), producing a balanced, durable fabric.
9Which natural fiber exhibits the highest standard moisture regain percentage (around 14-18%)?
A.Cotton
B.Polyester
C.Wool
D.Nylon
Explanation: Wool has the highest moisture regain among major apparel fibers (typically 14-18% under standard conditions of 65% RH, 20°C) due to its porous cortex and hydrophilic amino acid side chains.
10When subjected to a flame, 100% polyester fabric behaves by:
A.Burning rapidly without melting and leaving light grey ash
B.Charring, glowing, and smelling like burnt paper
C.Melting and shrinking away from flame, forming a hard round bead
D.Dissolving completely into yellow gas without ash
Explanation: Polyester is a thermoplastic synthetic polymer that melts and shrinks away from flame, forming a hard, round greenish/blackish bead accompanied by a sweetish aromatic odor.
