Answer 1

Of this list, Muslims & Coarse chintz would have definitely fallen out of use in the early 1900s Because

1. Due to industrial revolution in Britain the mass manufacturer of cotton textile began. These Textiles were exported to many parts of the world including India.

  

2. Large number of Indian rivers and spinners were out of work and important textile weaving centres declined as demands for local cloth kept falling.

 

3. Artificial fibres were developed which made clothes cheaper and easier to maintain.

 

4.The coarse  Indian Textiles were replaced by British Textiles they were cheaper and finer.
