Q. Which of the following is not under direct measurement?
  • (A) pacing
  • (B) chaining
  • (C) taping
  • (D) triangulation
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) triangulation

Explanation: triangulation is by optical means. pacing is rough surveying. chaining gives almost accurate readings. taping gives accurate readings.

Q. ground?
  • (A) spirit level
  • (B) plumb bob
  • (C) butt rod
  • (D) pegs
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) plumb bob

Explanation: it also transfers points from line ranger to the ground. spirit level is the instrument used to level the plane table by adjusting the spirit bubble in it to center.

Q. What is used for measuring offsets, but it is often used by building surveyors or architects?
  • (A) plum bob
  • (B) butt rod
  • (C) pegs
  • (D) laths
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) butt rod

Explanation: it generally consists of two laths, each of 1 yard or 1 m in length loosely tiered together. plumb bob is suspended at the center of the plane table to transfer the points on the plan to ground.

Q. What is used in centering aid in theodolites, compass, plane table and variety of other surveying instruments?
  • (A) butt rod
  • (B) whites
  • (C) laths
  • (D) plumb bob
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) plumb bob

Explanation: plumb bob transfers points to the ground so it is used for centering. butt are used for measuring offsets.

Q. Which of the following option is incorrect about interchangeability?
  • (A) increase output
  • (B) increase cost of production
  • (C) useful in mass production
  • (D) assembly time increases
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) assembly time increases

Explanation: an interchangeable part is one that can be replaced with a similar part manufactured to the same drawing. it can be used in mass production with an economic oriented approach. assembly time decreases as mating parts are interchangeable.

Q. What are the main considerations for deciding the limits of a particular part?
  • (A) functional requirement
  • (B) economics and interchangeability
  • (C) interchangeability and functional requirement
  • (D) interchangeability, functional requirement and economics
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) interchangeability, functional requirement and economics

Explanation: functional requirements are related to the function of a component that is what is required to do. interchangeability is for ease of replacement of part. economics is related to the minimum cost and time.

Q. For full interchangeability, what is the relation between the process capability of a machine and manufacturing tolerance of the part?
  • (A) process capability = manufacturing tolerance
  • (B) process capability ≥ manufacturing tolerance
  • (C) process capability > manufacturing tolerance
  • (D) process capability ≤ manufacturing tolerance
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) process capability ≤ manufacturing tolerance

Explanation: for full interchangeability, only such machines are selected for manufacturing whose process capability ≤ manufacturing

Q. Which of the following option is correct in given statements about interchangeability? Statement 1: Standardisation is not so much of importance for interchangeability. Statement 2: Interchangeability follows ‘normal distribution’.
  • (A) f, t
  • (B) t, t
  • (C) f, f
  • (D) t, f
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) f, t

Explanation: standardisation is important in interchangeability. it is essential to follow a common standard by all, only then interchangeability is possible. all standards used by the manufacturing unit are traceable to international standards.

Q. Which of the following option is not correct for ‘full interchangeability’?
  • (A) this type of interchangeability is not feasible sometimes
  • (B) requires machine which can maintain low process capability
  • (C) machines with very high accuracy are necessary
  • (D) for interchangeable production, this type of interchangeability is not must
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) requires machine which can maintain low process capability

Explanation: full interchangeability is also known as universal interchangeability. many times, universal interchangeability is not feasible because it requires machine capable of maintaining very high accuracy and high process capability.

Q. What is the correct formula to find no. of groups in selective assembly?
  • (A) process capability / tolerance desired
  • (B) tolerance desired / process capability
  • (C) tolerance desired * process capability
  • (D) tolerance desired + process capability
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) process capability / tolerance desired

Explanation: no. of groups segregated in selective assembly depends upon desired tolerance and process capability of machine. conditions like high quality and low cost can be achieved by selective assembly technique.
