(b) towards the POP
(c) away from the base of solid
(d) towards the base of solid

SolutionsS1. Ans.(b)
Sol. In parallel or progressive dimensioning, placement of a number of single dimension lines parallel to one another starting from a common extension line situated at one end is done.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. For a regular polygon, included angle is given as (n-2)/n×180°
As in pentagon n=5
Therefore, included angle is (5-2)/5×180°
Which is 108°.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The sum of the distance of a point on the ellipse from the two foci is equal to major axis.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Radius vector is the line joining any point on the curve with the pole.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Auxiliary plane is not the principal plane of projection.\
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The Top View of a rectangle shaped room will show both length and width.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. To obtain the point view of a line, the auxiliary plane is set perpendicular to true length.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. Scale of chords is used for angular measurements.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. In the first angle projection, the direction of arrows on the cutting plane line is towards the POP.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. For the first angle projection, the setup is
Observer-Object-POP.
