Question

A plate of a negligible thickness of circular shape is placed parallel to horizontal plane the front view will be ____________

(a) line

(b) circle

(c) rectangle

(d) ellipse

The question was posed to me in a job interview.

My question is based upon Problems on Orthographic Projection in chapter Loci of Points & Orthographic Projections of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Right option is (a) line

The best I can explain: Given a plate which is in circular shape given plate is parallel to horizontal plane so the front view and side views will be line whose length is equal to diameter of circle as the thickness is negligible the front view, side view can’t be rectangle and top view will be circle.
