I got this question in homework.

This is a very interesting question from Determine the Included Angle of an Internal Dovetail in portion Miscellaneous Measurements (EM) of Engineering Metrology

Best answer
Correct answer is (b) The slope is 1:5 for softwoods

For explanation I would say: In dovetail joint, the sloping sides acts as guide and during the mating operation prevent the lifting of the female mating part. The slope is 1:6 for softwoods and 1:8 for hardwoods.
