Which of the above statements are correct?
a) 1,2 and 4
b) 3 and 4
c) 1 and 3
d) 1,2,3 and 4

7. Consider the following modifications regarding avoiding the interference between gears:
1. The centre distance between meshing gears be increased
2. Addendum of the gear be modified
3. Teeth should be undercut slightly at the root
