Q.
Answer Explanation
No
i (c) Fatigue occurs after repeated loading, typically beyond the yield point.
ii (a) Factor of safety is always greater than 1.
Power ∝ (Diameter)^4. If A is twice B, then 2⁴ = 16; but torque is also divided by diameter,
iii (a)
making it 8 times.
iv (c) Failure at the knuckle joint occurs due to shear stresses.
v (d) All three types (shearing, bearing, and bending) act on the flange coupling key.
vi (c) Pulley width is typically greater than belt width to accommodate belt movement.
vii (d) Transverse fillet welds resist shear primarily.
viii (c) Largest diameter is pitch diameter in threading terminology.
ix (c) Nominal diameter = 24 mm, pitch = 2 mm in "M 24 × 2".
x (d) Rolling contact bearings = antifriction bearings.
xi (a) "405" refers to light series with 5 mm bore.
xii (d) Overhead expenses include general charges like air conditioning.
xiii (a) Prime cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Direct expenses.
xiv (d) Parallel fillet welded joints are designed for shear strength.
xv (a) Selling Price = Total Cost + Profit is correct formula.

i d) All of the above
geometry, or localized loading.
a) breaking stress
ii Factor of Safety = Ultimate/Breaking Stress ÷ Working Stress.
to working stress
Steel is known for its high elasticity (high modulus of elasticity), not rubber,
iii c) Steel
which is flexible but not elastic.
iv d) knuckle joint Fork end is a component of a knuckle joint.
v b) Key The key transmits torque between the shaft and hub.
vi d) bolts and nuts Flange coupling parts are typically fastened using bolts and nuts.
vii c) ductile Ductile materials undergo large plastic deformation before fracture.
c) both Shear and Keys are subjected to both shear and crushing stresses during torque
viii
crushing stresses transmission.
c) damping Cast iron is preferred for machine beds due to high damping capacity—it
ix
capacity absorbs vibrations well.
x d) both a and c Arms in pulley design act as cantilever beams and also transmit torque
Q.
Correct Answer Explanation
No
through their number distribution.
In rigid flanged couplings, bolts are mainly subjected to shear force due to torque
xi d) both a and b
and crushing force due to contact pressure.
Welds are permanent fastening methods. Bolts, keys, and cotters are temporary
xii d) welds
or semi-permanent.
b) supporting type Bearings are used to support rotating shafts — hence, they are supporting type
xiii
elements elements.
c) Direct labour
xiv Prime cost = Direct material cost + Direct labour cost + Direct expenses.
cost
In a fillet weld, the leg is the length of the equal sides of the triangular weld
xv a) Leg
cross-section. The throat is the shortest distance from the root to the hypotenuse.
