This set of Engineering Drawing Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Projection of Planes Parallel to one of the Reference Plane”.
1. An equilateral triangle of side 10 cm is held parallel to horizontal plane and base is parallel to xy reference line. The length of line from front view will be _____
a) 8.66 cm
b) 10 cm
c) 0 cm
d) 12.47 cm
View Answer
Explanation: Just by visualizing we can get picture and then as the base is parallel to xy reference plane the side view and front view will be a line and front view gives line of length equal to side of triangle given and side view gives the height of triangle.
2. A square of side 10 cm is held parallel to vertical plane and one diagonal is perpendicular to xy reference plane. The length of line in top view will be ________
a) 10 cm
b) 14.14 cm
c) 7.07 cm
d) 0 cm
View Answer
Explanation: Given the square is parallel to vertical plane ad diagonal is perpendicular to xy reference plane the top view and side gives a line and both of same length which is equal to diagonal length L= 2 x √(52+52 ) = 14.14 cm.
3. A hexagon is placed parallel to vertical plane which of the following projection is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- hexagon
b) Front view- hexagon, top view- line
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view- hexagon, side view- line
View Answer
Explanation: Given a hexagon parallel to vertical plane so the plane containing hexagon in perpendicular to horizontal plane and profile plane. The top view and side view gives a line and front view gives the true shape and size of hexagon.
4. A pentagon is placed parallel to horizontal plane which of the following projection is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- pentagon
b) Front view- pentagon, top view- line
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view- line, side view- line
View Answer
Explanation: Given a pentagon parallel to horizontal plane so the plane containing pentagon in perpendicular to vertical plane and profile plane. The front view and side view gives a line and top view gives the true shape and size of pentagon.
5. A rectangle is placed parallel to profile plane which of the following projection is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- rectangle
b) Front view- rectangle, top view- line
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view- rectangle, side view- line
View Answer
Explanation: Given a rectangle parallel to profile plane so the plane containing rectangle in perpendicular to horizontal plane and vertical plane. The top view and front view gives a line and side view gives the true shape and size of hexagon.
6. A circle is placed parallel to vertical plane which of the following projection is false?
a) Front view-circle, top view- line
b) Length in top view and side view will be same
c) Circle is perpendicular to horizontal plane
d) The traces of plane containing this circle intersect at xy reference line
View Answer
Explanation: Given a circle parallel to vertical plane so the plane containing circle is perpendicular to horizontal plane and profile plane. The top view and side view gives a line and front view gives the true shape and size of circle. The traces will intersect at line formed by intersection of profile plane and horizontal plane.
7. An ellipse is placed parallel to vertical plane which of the following projection is false?
a) Front view-ellipse, top view- line
b) Length in top view and side view will be same
c) Ellipse is perpendicular to horizontal plane
d) The traces of plane containing this circle will not intersect at xy reference line
View Answer
Explanation: Given an ellipse parallel to vertical plane so the plane containing ellipse is perpendicular to horizontal plane and profile plane. The top view and side view gives a line and front view gives the true shape and size of hexagon. As the object is ellipse which has major and minor axis the views show different lengths.
8. While drawing projections if a triangle is parallel to horizontal plane, top should be drawn first and projections are drawn to it to get front view.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Given a triangle parallel to horizontal plane so the front view and side view gives a line and top view gives the true shape and size of triangle so top view should be drawn first with specifications given and then projections to further gives the front view.
9. If a plane is parallel to one of the reference plane then the projection onto the other reference planes would be a line.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: If a plane is only parallel to vertical plane then it is perpendicular to horizontal plane and profile plane. The top view and side view gives a line and front view gives the true shape and size of plane.
10. An equilateral triangle of side 10 cm is held parallel to horizontal plane and base is parallel to xy reference line. The length of line from side view will be _____
a) 8.66 cm
b) 10 cm
c) 0 cm
d) 12.47 cm
View Answer
Explanation: Just by visualizing we can get picture and then as the base is parallel to xy reference plane the side view and front view will be a line and front view gives line of length equal to side of triangle given and side view gives the height of triangle.
11. A square of side 10 cm is held parallel to vertical plane and one diagonal is making 45 degrees with xy reference plane. The length of line in top view will be ________
a) 10 cm
b) 14.14 cm
c) 7.07 cm
d) 0 cm
View Answer
Explanation: Given the square is parallel to vertical plane ad diagonal is making 45 degrees with xy reference plane the top view and side gives a line and both of same length which is equal to length of side of square because in square angle between the diagonal and side is 45 degrees.
12. The top view, front view and side view of a triangle parallel to vertical plane, circle parallel to profile plane and rectangle parallel to horizontal plane respectively are ___________
a) line, circle, line
b) triangle, line, rectangle
c) triangle, line, line
d) line, line, line
View Answer
Explanation: If a plane is parallel to vertical plane then the top view and side view gives a line and front view gives the true shape. If a plane is parallel to horizontal plane then the front view and side view gives a line and top view gives the true shape. If a plane is parallel to profile plane then the top view and front view gives a line and side view gives the true shape.
