Question

A line AB is parallel to vertical plane and inclined to horizontal plane and held 5 cm apart from vertical plane. The expected trace will be placed at __________

(a) above 5 cm from xy reference, on vertical plane

(b) below 5 cm from xy reference, on horizontal plane

(c) on the xy reference

(d) above 5 cm from vertical reference, on vertical plane

This question was addressed to me in my homework.

Question is taken from Traces of a Line in division Projection of Lines of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) below 5 cm from xy reference, on horizontal plane

To elaborate: As the given line is parallel to vertical plane the trace will not be on the vertical plane. And also given the line is 5 cm apart from the vertical plane and also the line is parallel to vertical so the trace would lie below 5 cm from xy reference, on horizontal plane.
