26 .
If there is a need for the center line, then it can be used as a _____
A)
Leader line
B)
Extension line
C)
Section line
D)
Dimension line

Correct Answer :   Extension line

Explanation : The center line can be used as an extension line. With the help of the center line as an extension line, we can dimension the distance between the centers of the circles from the outline view of the object. This helps in drawing the circle accurately.

A)
20
B)
1/20
C)
0.5
D)
0.02

Correct Answer :   1/20

Explanation : The scale of the drawing is given as 1:20 that is a reducing scale, this means dimensions are made to 1/20th of full size. So the representative factor is that dimension in drawing to actual dimension. R.F. = (1/20)/1 = 1/20.

What is the type of scale in which the representative fraction is 1:1?
A)
Reduced scale
B)
Enlarged scale
C)
Graphical scale
D)
Full size scale

Correct Answer :   Full size scale

Explanation : A full size scale is a type of scale in which the length of the drawing and the actual length of the object is of the ratio 1:1. Hence by definition, its representative fraction is 1:1. In full size scale, the drawing is drawn with the actual measurements.

45 .
Which of the following representative fraction depicts an enlarging scale?
A)
1:1
B)
1:2
C)
1:3
D)
1:0.2

Correct Answer :   1:0.2

Explanation : Enlarging scale means that the drawing is drawn with the bigger dimensions in comparison to the actual dimensions of the object. A representative fraction of 1:0.2 means 5:1, i.e. the drawing is five times bigger than the actual object. Hence the scale is enlarging scale.

46 .
Which of the following scales is a reducing scale?
A)
1:0.4
B)
1:1
C)
1:3
D)
3:2

Correct Answer :   1:3

Explanation : The representative fraction 1:3 indicates that the dimension of the drawing is one-third of the actual object. Since the drawing is smaller than the actual object, this type of scale is called a reducing scale.

47 .
Which of the following is not an enlarging scale?
A)
2:1
B)
3:5
C)
4:3
D)
6:1

Correct Answer :   3:5

Explanation : Enlarging scale means that the drawing is larger than the actual object. Hence the representative fraction will be greater than unity. For reducing scale the representative fraction is less than unity.

48 .
Which of the following scales is neither an enlarging nor a reducing scale?
A)
1:1
B)
1:4
C)
3:2
D)
5:3

Correct Answer :   1:1

Explanation : A scale which is neither enlarging nor reducing is called as full size scale. The representative fraction of a full size scale is 1:1. In full size scale, the drawing is made just as the actual dimensions of the object.

A)
75⁰
B)
60⁰
C)
45⁰
D)
30⁰

Correct Answer :   75⁰

Explanation : 45⁰ can be drawn using 45⁰ Set-square, and 30⁰, 60⁰ can be drawn using 30⁰ – 60⁰ Set-square, but to draw 75⁰ degrees we need both Set-squares. That is only if we keep 30⁰ of set-square adjacent with 45⁰ set-square we can get 75⁰. And also multiple angles can be achieved using protractor.

68 .
The angle which we can't make using both the Set-squares is __________
A)
65⁰
B)
95⁰
C)
105⁰
D)
125⁰
