1. Axonometric view is a type of _____________

a) Orthographic view
b) Pictorial view
c) Oblique View
d) Pictorial and Oblique View
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Views are classified as pictorial and orthographic view and the pictorial view is classified
into three subgroups namely perspective axonometric, oblique and orthographic views. Axonometric
view is that type of pictorial view in which the line of site is perpendicular to the picture plane.
2. In an axonometric view, line of site are ______________
a) Perpendicular to plane of projection with all three faces equally inclined to picture plane
b) Perpendicular to plane of projection with all three faces need not be equally inclined to picture plane
c) Inclined to the plane of projection at certain angle
d) One face of the object needs to be parallel
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: An axonometric view is the type of pictorial view in which lines of the sight are
perpendicular to the plane of projection. But all three faces need not be equally inclined to picture plane.
The one with all three faces equally inclined to the picture plane is termed as isometric view.
3. The figure shown below depicts which type of view?

a) Oblique View
b) Perspective View
c) Axonometric View
d) Orthographic View
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Since the line of sight is perpendicular to the face and face are inclined at some angle to
the picture plane the given figure is drawn in axonometric view, in case of the oblique view one of the
face is parallel to the picture plane however in case of the orthographic view line of site are parallel to
the picture plane.

4. Which type of view is shown in the below figure?

a) Oblique View
b) Perspective View
c) Axonometric View
d) Orthographic View
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Since one face is parallel to the picture plane and other face are inclined at some given
angle thus the given figure best depicts oblique view. In case of perspective view edges appear to vanish
at some distant point, in axonometric view line of site are perpendicular to the plane of a picture and
orthographic view gives plane and elevation.
5. Which type of view best describes the view, of the below given figure?

a) Oblique View
b) Perspective View
c) Axonometric View
d) Orthographic View
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Edges of the object are vanishing at some distant points and angle of inclination varies,
thus the given figure is drowned in perspective view. Note that it can note be axonometric as a line of
site are not perpendicular, it cannot be oblique as none of the face is parallel to picture plane and cannot
be orthographic view as orthographic view gives only one face at one time.
6. In which of the following view the vanishing point is assumed to be located at infinity?
a) Perspective view
b) Orthographic view
c) Axonometric view

MPGISOE

d) Perspective with one face of object parallel to the plane of picture

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Axonometric view drawn in such a way that the faces if an object is perpendicular to the
line of sight and thus the vanishing rays are parallel and hence vanishing point are at infinity, in
orthographic view there is no matter of vanishing point. A perspective view always meant to have a
vanishing point at some point.
7. In which of the below given views, the picture plane is the same as the plane of the projection?
a) Pictorial view
b) Perspective view
c) Orthographic view
d) Oblique view
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Since an orthographic view is drawn by projecting the faces of an object on the required
plane, thus plane of projection is parallel to the picture plane and lie in the picture plane. Since pictorial
view are always drown with more than one face at one time thus cannot have picture plane as the plane
of projection.
8. Projectors are referred to______________
a) Plane of projection
b) Picture plane
c) Rays intersecting the corner and edges of the object
d) Line of site
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Projectors are rays which intersect at the corner of an object and aligned along the edges of
the object. They are not plane, so plane of projection and picture plane cannot be referred and line site is
not known as projector.

Hence it is used in applications like vice used for carpentry work. It has efficiency as good as square
thread and strength as much as V thread.
150. Which of the following option do not specify a knuckle thread?
a) Semi-circular profile of radius 1/4th of pitch
b) Suitably formed by molding or rolling
c) Used in sheet metal covers for jars
d) Transmits power in one direction only
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Knuckle thread has a semi-circular profile of radius 1/4th of the pitch. Knuckle threads are
suitably formed by molding as well as rolling and can be used in sheet metal covers for jars. But thread
which can transmit power in one direction only is Buttress thread.
151. Coarse pitches are used for ____________
a) rough application
b) general application
c) precision application
d) special application
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Pitch for the same diameter thread varies depending upon the application. Coarse pitch is
used for rough application, medium pitch for general application and fine pitch is used for precision
work.
152. Square threads are used for ________
a) power transmission
b) clamping devices
c) easy operation of engagement and disengagement
d) fastening purpose
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Square thread is the simple and strong type of thread profile. It is used for power

154. A metric thread is designated by _________
a) its profile of the groove
b) letter M
c) its hand of the helix
d) thread profile
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: A metric thread is designated by letter M. It is then followed by major diameter in mm
followed by the pitch with an ‘x’ sign in between the diameter and pitch. Coarse pitch is considered if
the pitch is not defined.
155. What do you mean by M10?
a) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00mm and fine pitch
b) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00mm and coarse pitch
c) Metric thread with a major diameter of 10.00cm and fine pitch
d) Metric thread with a minor diameter of 10.00mm and coarse pitch
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: M denotes metric thread. 10 followed by M denotes a major diameter of thread in mm.
here, pitch is not defined. So, it is taken as a coarse pitch thread.
156. Which thread is denoted by SQ 40*10?
a) Square thread with 40mm major diameter and 10mm pitch
b) Square thread with 10mm major diameter and 40mm pitch
c) Metric thread with 40mm major diameter and 10mm pitch
d) Square thread with 40mm minor diameter and 10mm pitch
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If a thread is not a metric thread, type of thread is given in abbreviated form. Square thread
is abbreviated as SQ. 40*10 denotes 40mm major diameter and 10mm pitch.
157. If not specified, a left hand, single start thread of usual tolerance and grade is presumed.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Threads are specified by type of thread profile, major diameter, tolerance, hand of helix
and start of threads. If not specified, a right hand, single start thread of usual tolerance and grade is
presumed.
