Question

A point is in 4th quadrant, 5 m away from the vertical plane, 1 m away from the horizontal plane and 8 units away from the profile plane. Orthographic projection is drawn. What is the distance from point of front view to point of top view?

(a) 6

(b) 4

(c) 10

(d) 2

The question was asked in semester exam.

The doubt is from Projection of Points in Fourth Quadrant in section Projection of Points of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) 4

To elaborate: As the point is in 4th quadrant while drawing the projections the planes should rotate along the hinges such that the plane with top view overlaps the front view. So the distance between them is difference of distances from respective planes that is 5 (5-1) here.
