Question

A cylinder first placed in such a way its axis is perpendicular to V.P and next this is tilted such that its axis is making some acute angle with V.P. The top view for previous and later one will be ____________

(a) circle, rectangle with circular ends

(b) rectangle, rectangle

(c) rectangle with circular ends, rectangle

(d) circle, rectangle

The question was posed to me in a national level competition.

This question is from Projections of Solids with Axis Inclined to Vertical Plane and Parallel to Horizontal Plane topic in portion Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) rectangle, rectangle

Best explanation: For given positions of solid the solid is made acute angle with V.P and previously given the axis is perpendicular to V.P so the top view gives the rectangle and next with some given angle shape will not change but just tilt to given angle.
