I have been asked this question in final exam.

I want to ask this question from Projection of Spheres in section Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (d) intersecting circles

The explanation is: Given three spheres of same radius are placed on H.P each touching other two, the line joining centers of spheres gives equilateral triangle. From front view the spheres seem to be intersecting circles.
