Correct option is A
A
clearance fit occurs when the smallest size of the hole is larger than the largest size of the shaft, ensuring that there is always a gap (clearance) between the two components. This type of fit allows easy assembly and disassembly, making it ideal for applications where movement or adjustment is required.
Key Features of Clearance Fit:
· Always results in a gap between the mating parts.
· Provides free movement and avoids binding.
· Commonly used in assemblies like bearings, bushings, and sliding components.
Interference fit → Negative clearance
Transition fit → Posting or negative clearance
