Question

A point is 9 units away from the vertical plane and 5 units away from profile plane and 4 units away from horizontal plane in 3rd quadrant then the projections are drawn on paper the distance between the side view and front view of point is ____________

(a) 12 units

(b) 14 units

(c) 10 units

(d) 8 units

This question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

This question is from Projection of Points in Third Quadrant topic in division Projection of Points of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) 14 units

The explanation is: Since the point is 5 units away from the profile plane the distance from the point to a reference line will be 5 units. And then the point is at distance of 9 units from the vertical plane the distance from reference line and point will be 9, sum is 14.
