Question

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

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in an online quiz.

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

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

The best I can explain: For given positions of solid the solid is just rotated around itself and given the axis is perpendicular to H.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.
