Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
In Britain, various inventions were made to compete with the cotton textile industry flourishing in India. A pit loom was made up of a box-type loom, and the workers used their feet to pedal it and make their products, but charkha was used by hand for spinning and weaving. Threads and yarns were used together, but the pit loom failed to do so. Charkha is also known as the spinning wheel, it was the first invention in the textile industry, and even the British adopted the same style of weaving. Therefore, products like steam engines, spinning jenny, water-powered spinning mills, synthetic dye, water frames, etc., were made, which changed the textile industry drastically. The correct statement would be the invention of the spinning jenny and water frame, among other products, revolutionized cotton textile weaving in Britain.
