Refer to the given dichotomous key and select the incorrect statement regarding P, Q, R, S and T.
(i) (a) It is a natural fibre - Go to (ii)
(b) It is a man-made fibre. - P
(ii) (a) Fibre is obtained from plants. - Go to (iii)
(b) Fibre is obtained from animals, - Go to (iv)
(iii) (a) Fibre obtained from stem. - Q
(b) Fibre obtained from fruit. - R
(iv) (a) Fibre obtained by killing of source organism. - S
(b) Fibre obtained without killing source organism. - T

A

Fibre of P burns quickly and shrinks away from flame giving slightly sweet chemical odour.

B

Q could be obtained from Corchorus capsularis while R could be obtained from Gossypium hirsutum.

C

Fibre S is obtained from an insect whereas fibre T is obtained from a mammal.

D

Fabric made of S can be worn in all seasons whereas fabric made of Q can be used to make a raincoat.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statement about P, Q, R, S, and T based on the provided dichotomous key, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Types of Fibers**: - From the key, we know: - **P**: Man-made fiber - **Q**: Obtained from stem (e.g., jute) - **R**: Obtained from fruit (e.g., cotton) - **S**: Obtained by killing the source organism (e.g., silk) - **T**: Obtained without killing the source organism (e.g., wool) 2. **Analyze Each Statement**: - We need to evaluate the statements regarding these fibers to find the incorrect one. - **Statement about P**: "Fiber of P burns quickly." This is true for synthetic fibers. - **Statement about Q**: "Q could be obtained from Corchorus capsularis." This is true, as jute comes from this plant. - **Statement about R**: "R could be obtained from Gossypium hirsutum." This is true, as cotton comes from this plant. - **Statement about S**: "Fabric made of S can be worn in all seasons." This is likely false, as silk is generally not suitable for all seasons. - **Statement about T**: "Fabric made of Q can be used to make a raincoat." This is false, as jute is not typically used for raincoats. 3. **Determine the Incorrect Statement**: - The statements about S and T are both suspect. However, the statement about T is particularly incorrect because jute is not waterproof and cannot be used to make effective raincoats. 4. **Conclusion**: - The incorrect statement is: "Fabric made of Q can be used to make a raincoat." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement regarding P, Q, R, S, and T is: "Fabric made of Q can be used to make a raincoat." ---
