Question

When the size of the shaft or male part of a job is more than hole or female part, the difference between the two will be known as ____________.

A.

positive allowance

B.

negative allowance

C.

neither positive nor negative allowance

D.

either positive or negative allowance

Correct option is B

Allowance is the intentional difference between mating parts (shaft and hole). When the shaft size is larger than the hole, it results in an interference fit, meaning parts must be forced together. In such cases, the allowance is called negative allowance because clearance is negative.
Positive allowance refers to clearance fits where the hole is larger than the shaft. Since the shaft is bigger in this case, the difference is negative.
