Question

A hexagonal pyramid first placed in such a way its axis is perpendicular to V.P and one edge AB parallel to H.P and then next this is turned about its axis so the base AB is now making some angle with H.P. The top view for previous and later one will be having different shapes.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in a national level competition.

Asked question is from Projection of Solids with Axis Inclined to Horizontal Plane and Parallel to Vertical Plane in division Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

To explain I would say: For given positions of solid the solid is just rotated around itself and given the axis is perpendicular to V.P so the top view gives the true shape and size of its base but the base is just rotated to its given angle shape will not change.
