On the basis of orientation, washing machines are classified as –
A. Agitator type
B. Twisting type
C. Suction type
D. Impeller type
E. Tumbling type
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Washing machines can be classified into different types based on their orientation and the type of mechanical action used to clean the clothes. The correct types based on orientation include:
· Agitator type (A): These washing machines use a central post with blades (agitator) that moves the clothes back and forth in the water, creating a scrubbing action.
· Impeller type (D): These washing machines use a low-profile disc at the bottom of the drum that creates a rotating action, causing the clothes to move in a swirling pattern without the traditional agitator.
· Tumbling type (E): These washing machines use a drum that rotates on its axis, tumbling clothes in and out of the water to clean them. This type is commonly seen in front-load washing machines.
Information Booster:
· Agitator type (A): These washing machines are typically top-loading machines that feature a central post with fins or blades (the agitator) to churn clothes in the wash tub.
· Impeller type (D): Impeller washing machines are another variety of top-load machines, but unlike the traditional agitator, they use a rotating disc or plate at the bottom of the drum to create water currents that move clothes around, providing a gentler wash.
· Tumbling type (E): Tumbling washing machines are usually front-load machines. The clothes are lifted by the rotating drum and then allowed to fall into the water, mimicking the action of tumbling. This method is known to be gentler on clothes compared to agitators.
Additional Knowledge on Incorrect Options:
· Twisting type (B): The twisting type is not a recognized classification for washing machines based on their orientation. There are no standard washing machines categorized as "twisting type."
· Suction type (C): Similarly, suction type is not a classification based on the mechanical or orientation method of washing machines.
