Question

A cylinder first placed in such a way its axis is perpendicular to H.P and next this is tilted such that its axis is making some acute angle with H.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

This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

Query is from Projection of Solids with Axis Inclined to Horizontal Plane and Parallel to Vertical Plane topic in chapter Projection of Solids of Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) circle, rectangle with circular ends

The best I can explain: For given positions of solid the solid is made acute angle with H.P and previously given the axis is perpendicular to H.P so the front view gives the circle and next with some given angle shape will change to rectangle with circular ends.
