Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) (i) Squeeze the shirt with force. By doing so, some of the moisture is removed.
(ii) Spread the shirt on a stand. It provides greater surface area for evaporation.
(iii) Iron the shirt. Increase in temperature helps in drying the shirt.
(b) Cotton clothes would be more comfortable than the nylon clothes since these are porous. Perspiration sticking to the skin can escape from the pores. Priyanshi would feel more comfortable.
