Question

A prism and cone got intersected at 90 degrees the line of intersection will be _________ and parallel to axis of ____________

(a) straight line, prism

(b) curve, prism

(c) straight line, cone

(d) curve, cone

This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

Question is taken from Intersection of Surfaces in section Development & Intersection of Surfaces of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) curve, prism

To elaborate: As here a prism and cone are intersected in which the prism has plane surface and cone has curved surface and we know the curved surface is perpendicular to axis of cone and also given the solids intersect at 90 degrees so the curve formed will be parallel to axis of a prism.
