This set of Engineering Drawing Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Projection of Planes Inclined to one of the Reference Plane & Perpendicular to other”.
1. When a plane is perpendicular to one plane and inclined to other reference planes then the projections are obtained in 2 stages.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is inclined to a reference plane, its projections may be obtained in 2 stages. In the initial stage, the plane is assumed to be parallel to that reference plane to which it has to be made inclined. It is then titled to the required inclination in the second stage.
2. A Square is placed perpendicular to vertical plane and inclined to horizontal which of the following is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- square
b) Front view- line, top view- rectangle
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view-line, side view- rectangle
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. Its projection on the plane to which it is inclined, is smaller than the plane itself.
3. A circle is placed perpendicular to vertical plane and inclined to horizontal which of the following is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- circle
b) Front view- circle, top view- circle
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view- ellipse, side view- ellipse
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. Its projection on the plane to which it is inclined, is smaller than the plane itself.
4. A triangle is placed perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to vertical which of the following is true?
a) Front view-line, top view- triangle
b) Front view- triangle, top view- line
c) Front view –line, top view-line
d) Top view-line, side view- line
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. Its projection on the plane to which it is inclined, is smaller than the plane itself.
5. A triangle is placed perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to vertical which of the following is true. H.T is horizontal trace and V.T is vertical trace?
a) H.T- inclined to xy, V.T- inclined to xy
b) H.T- inclined to xy, V.T- perpendicular to xy
c) H.T-inclined to xy, V.T- parallel to xy
d) H.T-parallel to xy, V.T- perpendicular to xy
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy.
6. A square is placed perpendicular to vertical plane and inclined to horizontal plane which of the following is true. H.T is horizontal trace and V.T is vertical trace?
a) H.T- inclined to xy, V.T- perpendicular to xy
b) H.T- inclined to xy, V.T- perpendicular to xy
c) H.T- perpendicular to xy, V.T- inclined to xy
d) H.T- parallel to xy, V.T- perpendicular to xy
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy.
7. If a square is placed on its base parallel to horizontal plane, and plane containing square is perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to vertical plane then the top view gives a line of length equal to side of square.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: As given conditions are simple there exist no complication and base is parallel to horizontal plane so the views may give line and rectangle but not parallelograms. And line of length equal to side of square.
8. If a plane is perpendicular to vertical and inclined to horizontal plane with 30 degrees then the vertical trace makes _______ degrees with xy reference.
a) 30 degrees
b) 60 degrees
c) 150 degrees
d) 90 degrees
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. And converse for traces.
9. If a plane is perpendicular to vertical and inclined to horizontal plane with 30 degrees then the horizontal trace makes _______ degrees with xy reference.
a) 30 degrees
b) 60 degrees
c) 150 degrees
d) 90 degrees
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. And converse for traces.
10. A plane is perpendicular to vertical plane and vertical trace of a plane is making 55 degrees with the xy plane. Which of the following is false?
a) The plane is inclined 55 degrees with the horizontal plane
b) Front view gives a line
c) Top view gives true shape of plane
d) Horizontal trace is perpendicular to xy plane
View Answer
Explanation: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. And converse for traces.
11. A rectangle is placed perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to profile plane. The traces would meet at ______________
a) xy reference line
b) vertical reference line
c) the line formed by intersection of profile plane and horizontal plane
d) above the line formed by intersection of profile plane and horizontal plane
View Answer
Explanation: Given a rectangle is perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to profile plane so the traces would meet on the line formed by an intersection of profile plane and horizontal plane or the point of intersection of all planes.
12. A pentagon is placed perpendicular to horizontal plane and inclined to profile plane which of the following 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: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. Its projection on the plane to which it is inclined is smaller than the plane itself.
13. A hexagon is placed perpendicular to profile plane and inclined to horizontal plane which of the following 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: When a plane is perpendicular to one of the reference planes and inclined to the other, its inclination is shown by an angle which its projection on the plane to which it is perpendicular, makes with xy. Its projection on the plane to which it is inclined is smaller than the plane itself.
