I have been asked this question by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from Aircraft Materials topic in section Testing Aircraft Materials of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) 10

For explanation I would say: The minimum length required for the specimen is ten inches if the wire being tested has a diameter of more the 0.333 inches in the torsion test. The length requirements vary depending on the diameter of the wire.
