The question was asked in a job interview.

My doubt stems from Projection of Solids with Axes Inclined to both Horizontal and Vertical Plane in chapter Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) 3

The explanation is: The stages are i) keeping in simple position, ii) Axis inclined to one plane and parallel to the other, iii) Final position. The 2nd and 3rd positions may be obtained either by the alteration of the positions of the solid i.e. view or reference lines.
