Question

The number of folding methods for folding of various sizes of drawing sheets is __________

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

The question was posed to me by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

Origin of the question is Sheet layout, Types of Machine Drawing and Free-Hand Sketching in chapter Drawing Instruments, Sheet Layout & Free-Hand Sketching of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) 2

The best I can explain: The final size of the folded print in method 1 will be 297 x 190, while that in method 2 will be 297 x 210. In either case, the title block is visible at the top of the folded print. When prints are to be stored and preserved in cabinets they are folded by method 2.
